Gents,

A buddy of mine on active duty asked me to help him fix a 1904 his dad gave him years ago. The issue: The bolt handle has sheared off at the body. Using a drift punch I was able to remove the bolt and ensure it was clear. It appears to be a clean break. I am just not sure how to fix it. Anyone know where to get a replacement handle/knob. I have looked around for a complete bolt assembly and havent found one.

Hes a good dude and Id like to get his rifle fixed.

Do you still have the bolt handle? If so it can be welded together and dressed sown to look like it should.

Its history. He doesnt know where it went. Probably lost in a move long ago.

It is a simple pattern. Measure another one and had a smith turn one out of steel and then weld it on. I think they were chrome plated as well?
