Bolt welding ?

[hylander]

Anyone near Sac that can fix this ?
Looks like the original weld is brakng.
Ths is on an 03A3 Sporter

That does not look like it's breaking to me.
That just looks like the weld was not completely filled out before they machined away the excess.

+1. A crack would have sharper edges. Almost looks like it was cut and re-welded some time in the past....

Same question here. And why not just get a complete new bolt or just a bolt sleve?

You might find someone to weld it for about $5 but the finish work would cost some more....more time or more money or both

Doesn't look like a crack, just a lousy weld. I'd be happy to weld it if you still want too though. I'm one of the smiths in the back at J&G Gunsmithing out in Granite Bay.

I'm still mowing it over, studying the options.
I'm either buying this or a couple of K-98's.

Will the new bolt clear a scope, or would I have to have it done like this one.

Pulsar: What would it cost me to have you weld it, I'll do the filing and cleanup.

Will original bolt clear scope ?

Do you think an original Bolt will clear this scope and mount.

Oh probably $35 (shop rates, I don't set em), though I prefer to clean the weld my self, that way if I find porosity when I'm cleaning I can go back and fill it in.
