Bolt handle snapped off my .300WM

[IRON EAGLE]

Send a photo to Remington and ask they if they will send you a new bolt... or, would they like to see that photo showing up ALL OVER THE INTERNET...

Doing this now

EDIT: Remington is now doing business as RemArms, they said to call them back once I have the SN on hand.

Don't think a bankrupt company cares....

Remington went under.

Maybe, maybe not. Costs nothing to find out...

Just called Remington Arms. They said that Remington Outdoor Company manufactured the rifle, which went out of business two years ago. Remington Arms will not honor any warranty for Remington Outdoor.

Nothing ventured... nothing gained.

Good for you for putting in the call...

Try Micro Arc Welding in the Worcester area. Re-weld will likely be cheaper than a new bolt plus headspacing job. DO NOT simply buy a new bolt without having a qualified gunsmith check the headspacing. 300 WM is not a round to F around and find out.

It's for sale. Will trade for a CZ 550 American Safari Magnum or Weatherby

J-B Weld.

I have used JB for the simplest of tasks before, in my opinion, it is overrated piece of sh*t. No way it will work for the bolt.

Broc, how did you use JB weld? ...
I once used it on a front sight for a gun that was shooting way too low. I went home and put some JB weld on (I was going to replace the sight). I wanted to see what height sight I needed (roughly).

2 days later at the range, the POS JB weld fell off.

First and last time using JB weld.

It wouldn't be worse than whatever didn't work before it.
