Who to weld a bolt handle?

[3AXBAT]

I just bought a Mauser, built into a low-level custom rifle, bedded in a superb piece of wood, all well executed except the bolt handle, which was welded a touch sloppy, plus it needs a little more length. So, I want it re-done.

Anyone on the forum have reccs to make?

Dreadnought industries.

Goes by "wakal" on this forum.

Late to the party, what area you in? B&B in Terrell can do it, Dan has done a few of those.

I'm in the northwest side of San Antonio. I was hoping for someone less of a drive. I'll contact Dreadnought and see what they say.

Yeah, those Dreadnaught bozos are a long drive from the north side of town. Should be an easy job; look for someone with a tig welder close to you...

Wakal does great work but is quite a drive. You could try Don's at 3724 NW Loop 410. They had a good gunsmith at one time. You could call and ask.

If you are only doing a custom bolt/bolt handle and don't mind involving USPS, these guys do GREAT work, have a fast turnaround, and reasonable prices:
