[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 254097, member: 2736"] Scott I would'nt consider any welding on the bolt face area because of the heat damage potential. Not much can go wrong with a mod 70 action so if you find a used hunting rifle the action should be in good shape ( Most hunting rifles will have less than a 1000 rounds fired in them no matter how old they are). Find an action with the .540 bolt face and you will be set. Or depending on how much you have to pay for the action you might want to check on an after market bolt. When opening up a bolt face you don't change the metallurgy or the strength of the locking lugs . welding or soldering on the back of a bolt ( Like bolt handles )under controled conditions is ok because they don't take the stress that the recoil lugs and bolt face does.
