I have a mauser sporter built on an Argentine 09 action. The original bolt handle was reforged to gain scope clearance. It clears nicely however it's functionality is offset by its appearance, in short (excuse the pun) it's stubby.
I'm thinking of improving the rifle by either having a Dakota style handle welded on or having the knob turned and threaded for a longer knob. I like the idea of the threaded knob but don't care for the "tactical" look of most I've seen for this hunting gun.
Thoughts? The smith that reforged the handle was strongly opposed to welding.
Anybody know of a threaded knob that is more pear shaped in appearance?
