[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 864747, member: 8362"] When you replace a bolt handle, it has to be positioned correctly or the bolt may not rotate into battery fully (the locking lugs don't engage all the way)OR it may not rotate fully out of battery (so that the lugs disengage) so the action can be cycled. There is not much room for error in the position of the bolt handle so a 'smith needs, at least, the action along with the bolt body and handle to do the job correctly. [/QUOTE]
