Yes Zot I'll be using the original barrel chambered in 8mm. I have located a synthetic stock for $75.00 and a scope rail that will fit existing sight rails after you remove the leaf part of the sight. That costs $115.00 and comes with 1 inch rings. I have a servicable Simmons Atec scope that I took off my hunting rifle and replaced with a Leupold so I'll use the scope I already have. I can have the barrel re-blued if I decide to do so. As far as bending the bolt handle, Calgon corporation makes a great heat absorbing paste that plumbers use when sweating copper piping which is what I'll use as well as cloth rags that have been soaked in ice water that will be wrapped around everything except the bolt handle. I have a large vise as well as an oxy-acetylene rig for the heat. I can apply the heat to the handle and cause it to bend with a little pressure then cool it before the rest becomes too hot,I believe. Thanks for answering my inquiry------
