Get it welded. Might as well make a nice job of it. IIRC, we picked through several bolts, mostly previously modified, before settling on the one used in the rifle now. Had a friend, who was primarily a benchrest rifle builder, do the job to the handle.





Need to plug the receiver sight holes one of these days...

The Type 99 is a little easier as the RH rear of the receiver isn't as tall, thus the bottom root area of the turned down bolt isn't as apt to crash.

ETA: The Griffin & Howe scope mount was selected partly because the mum on the receiver was still intact. Seemed a shame to cover it.
