Find a weld/fab shop in your area, and they'll have it done in a couple minutes. You need not send it off to a special gunsmith. Really, it just needs more welding around the sides.Īnyway, this repair will be a cake-walk for any accomplished welder. However, without grinding into the bolt itself for more filler and penetration, not much additional penetration would be gained from laying back the edges of the bolt handle itself. Its clear the bolt handle edges weren't ground back and beveled to allow for more filler and penetration. Lawyers for the nine families say in court papers, We have no explanation for why Remington subpoenaed the Newtown Public School District to obtain the kindergarten and first-grade academic. If either of those two things had been done better, there would have been no failure. The main problem, as already mentioned, was 2 fold: Not enough penetration, and not welding enough sides. If it were me, I'd use ER70S2 or ER70S6.Maybe even Crown 220. My TIG welds have that look about them, although I don't think that welder overlapped each bead enough. This minimizes the amount of heat added to the workpiece. I lay a single bead, get out of the pedal most of the way, progress forward, and then lay the next bead. I can't make a TIG look like that but I can make a MIG look exactly like that. Instead of doing a complete weld, you spot, spot, spot.

It's almost always a 'get it right the first (and only) time.' Good thing it's a 700 and there are plenty of bolts around if this one won't make the comeback. I'll also say, if anyone can have a tough day, it's welders. Workers at the sprawling Remington factory in this upstate New York village took pride in a local gunmaking tradition stretching back to the days of flintlock rifles.

Also, the fact it cracked right down the middle says it got hot and wasn't normalized. There is simply too much torsion on that weld for it to hold. The catastrophic failure of the weld was also due to no support welds on either end or on the front side of the bolt. My personal opinion is that the weld had not near enough penetration.

In this particular case I would say take it to a good welder or a good gunsmith who knows how to weld with tig and get it done right.

But, along those same lines they could be a problem in that the bolt handle is separate and not welded on it will beat itself loose after a long time. Originally Posted By: JelloStormOriginally Posted By: tipperA Savage would never do that Īs much as I like Savages, yes they wouldn't do that.
