Gunsmithing 700 bolt lugs

[hesco]

From my understanding the bolt lugs on a remington 700 are welded on, anyone know how much pressure it would take to shear them off. has it ever happened.

Re: 700 bolt lugs

I think when they say the lugs are welded on, they are talking about the hole part of the bolt, including the face, lugs and right behind them . I don't think they mean that the lugs themself are welded on to the body itself. I could be wrong but thats how I understand it.

The entire bolt nose and lugs are one part and one of the three pieces it takes to have a complete bolt assembly. The juncture point is soldered together. The bolt body and handle are the other two parts.

wonder if they solder the bolt head and handle with the same type solder.

I see a torture test in the making to establish the breaking point?

The bolt head is silver brazed and also has a blind pin before final machining.
