[QUOTE="Pete Lincoln, post: 60580, member: 2245"] My guess is remington silver solder as its cheap. mausers are welded on as are expensive custom action bolt handles like the johannsen the bolts will be heat treated afterwards. You could weld a remmy handle on if you used a heat stop screwed in the rear end and some heat stop paste/putty to stop the heat going along that bolt i'd guess. But if its properly silver soldered on it shouldn't come apart anyway. adding the screws is just a redundant precaution if you sort out the factory problem in the first place, its a quality control issue and the screw modification is a quick and cheap fix or insurance. Ian, i was at Camp Wainwright, we used to get a cab to Lloydminster on the Alta Sask border. I loved it in Canada. I fell head over heels for a lovely young lady from Red Deer and was a natts whisker from transferring to the Canadian REME, but my Mother fell ill and i stayed in Europe. I am still in contact with the lady, her brother was Canadian Airborn and she is now a training manager for 7/11. I carry bout the screw on mod to all types of bolt handle that of similar design to the Rem 700, like i said, its a quick and easy fix. Pete [/QUOTE]
