I have a Mauser 98 large ring rifle that I
want to mount a scope over the action,one
piece mount, I need to cut and reweld bolt
handle,I see Midway sells replacement handles
for $7 a piece, also they sell heat sinks
but I'm not sure if that would be needed,
this Mauser is 1912/61 Steyr .308, no collector value, but would make a nice farm
rifle with scope, I'd like to hear some ways to weld handle on and also where to cut it
off at, I'd like the bolt to clear a scope
easily,I thought I could cut a bent handle off and weld it on backwards, I have a few
bolts straight and curved, ALSO I want to
try and get by the tap and die of scope base mounting and braze or weld scope base in place, yeah it sounds like a cheap mess, but
I'm going to try it anyhow, any thoughts or
ways you've done it would be appreciated.
