911rat Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Welded or forged? Davis May is hard to beat for forging bolt handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 For $50, you are talking a forging job. Consider what a weld-on requires: 1. Polish the handle before installation 2. Cut off the old handle leaving enough root to attach to 3. Polish the bolt body so you can get to the places that you won't be able to reach after welding 4. Jig the new handle and the bolt body to get the angle right 5. Install a heat sink to protect the cocking notch 6. TIG weld the handle on 7. Dress up the weld by milling, filing, grinding, and polishing 8. Final polish the entire job 9. Blue the handle Add to that the investment in a TIG welder, gas and rods ($3500??), a jig, heat sink, and practice. This is not a ten minute job.

rustvyper Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Are the 1903 Turk mauser "intermediate" bolts the same length as the yugos? i.e. interchangable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmarkey Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Are the 1903 Turk mauser "intermediate" bolts the same length as the yugos? i.e. interchangable? Yes/no. The length is the same but the 03 isn't safety breeched and has the small protrusions just like the 98's. If you are rebarrelling you can make either one work. -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
