Has anyone ever attempted bending a bolt handle that is brazed on? Reason being, I built a rifle using a Remington 722 action which has a 90 degree bolt handle, and I wanted to use a 700 stock with a BDL hinged floor plate. Really did not want to grind on the new stock, and it has a large gap at the back of bolt channel for the 700 style handle..I was thinking of using some heat sink compound right above the bending point and up on the top where its soldered on, then using a fairly large tip, heating up the bolt fast, so I don't have to stay on it all day and bending it, then dipping just the upper part of the handle to aid in keeping the solder joint cool... Any thoughts or suggestions? thanks.
