[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 861959, member: 5655"] My brother (dlbleak) picked up a Rem 788 in 30-30 for a song but it has a broken bolt handle. There isn't much metal on that section of the bolt to weld to but I took a shot at it with my TIG. I sent the bolt back to him and the handle snapped off again. This seems to be fairly common on these 788s or at least it appears that way via a Google search. Do any of the 'smiths on the board have any suggestions? I'd like to take another crack at welding it but just want to make sure I'm not doing more damage than good. [/QUOTE]
