Earlier this summer had a bolt come loose on me. The brazing just let go. The braze let go a the top of the stoke so removing the bolt was not a problem. Had plans for my brother in law to TIG weld it for me. This where it got interesting. Had a brain cramp thinking I could attach the bolt with LOC tight, bushing retaining compound. Tied it once and it worked fine. Got to thinking about the timing and watched Alex's videos on the subject. So I heated it up and removed the bolt. Then repositioned it, let cure and slip the bolt in the action. Upon closing the bolt the handle came off in my hand and the bolt was still closed. Spent a few days thinking about how to fix the problem. I removed the barrel and then came up with some elaborate plans for a tool to turn the bolt. Then Red Green saved me. I duck taped two small drills 180 degrees apart to a socket. Located the tool in the action, turned the socket and the bolt slide out. Thank you Red Green. Grand kids are back in school, so I have a lot of time on my hands.
