Pictures of your tig welded bolt handles.

This is a great modification for a rifle bound for severe service. Let's see some pictures of welded and other creative ways to keep the handle from chipping off your rifle.

Thanks

Thanks for the pictures. Is your bolt welded on the back edge too or just on the ends?

I've Laser Welded a fillet all around the joint of my Rem 700 bolt handle for extra reinforcement. It's not a good method to primarily attach a handle, but it's a great way to secondarily secure the handle to the bolt body for extra peace of mind. Best thing is - almost NO heat input, so nothing gets warped or out of tolerance. Very small, neat & tidy looking bead profile too.

I'll post up a pic when I get to the shop.

Tell us about the laser welding process and what does it look like?
