Default RE: Rem 788 info needed

They are a good gun but with one rather bad habit. I have seen several including one that I had, loose the bolt handle. The handle is soldered in and sometimes they come out. They can be welded back in but it may be hard to find someone who will take on the job. The handle is put in then the inside of the bolt is threaded for the firing pin housing. It is hard to weld them back in without damage to the threads. I had four of these rifles only one broke on me.
