270wsm Report post Posted October 19, 2011 My brother was shooting his Remington 770 this weekend when the bolt got stuck after firing what I say was a (hot load) . Anyway he busted the handle off trying to eject the spent case. Its chambered in 243 if anyone can help me out on where to find a replacement I would appreciate it thanks.

EBB Report post Posted October 19, 2011 I wouldn't even consider replacing a bolt without a gunsmith checking the headspace before firing. Just because it's from the same model rifle doesn't mean it will "fit". EBB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jefftrucker12 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 if the bolt handle just came off i doubt its too hard to get it welded back on. I dont know if there brazed or soldered from factory but depending on where it broke i bet any guy with a tig welder could weld it back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
