Hey Gents,
After shipping a rifle to its new owner, the receiving FFL discovered the bolt handle separated from the bolt body.
So I find myself in need of a craftsman near the Berryville, VA area (if possible) to braze a Remington 700 bolt handle onto the bolt body.
I also need an estimate for the job. FedEx manhandled the box, split it open and re-taped it enroute.
Definitely going to be filing a damages claim.
Any ideas you may have are appreciated.

http://www.accu-tig.comDan at Accu-tig in Alaska. Good work and worth the effort to ship it. Otherwise I’m no help for a local guy to braze.

I'm a Dan40X fan. He has done many for me and very quick and reasonable. He understand extraction and timing.

Any ideas you may have are appreciated. Did you leave the bolt in the gun, or pack it separately? DF
