I don't think it was anything to worry about when they were bronze-brazed. Bronze-brazing is very nearly as strong as the surrounding steel. I've literally never seen a brazed on handle break off. Notwithstanding the comments about Remington 700s on sniper forums like, "I seen five break off today" (yes, that was an actual post), the structural integrity is very, very strong. BTW, Remington 700 bolt heads are brazed on, too, and no one ever complains about those. I suspect that failures of Remington bolt handles arose mainly from do-it-yourselfers trying to tacticalize their guns by cutting off the stock bolt handles and slop-welding on a new tacticool version without using a heat sink installed and heat absorbing paste which might have caused a compromise in the brazing.
