***MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS UNLOADED BEFORE STARTING***
STEP 1 Remove the entire bolt from the rifle. Place the bolt in a
vise leaving the bolt handle extending out.
STEP 2 Use a hack saw to cut the existing handle at the dotted
line. This point is where the round of the handle meets the square
portion. NOTE: Cut off the handle as square as possible.
STEP 3 Use a metal file to clean up any burrs and file a small
radius around the end of the remaining bolt handle.
STEP 4 Place the new bolt handle at the end of the remaining
bolt handle stub and check for fit. Lightly file all 4 sides slightly
more than 1/8” down from the top and file a small radius on the
outside corners. Again check for fit. Repeat the above process until the
new bolt handle fits on the remaining stub. NOTE: You want a tight fit
to eliminate any movement to the new handle when installed.
STEP 5 With the new bolt handle fitted on the remaining stub,
use a center punch to mark the dead center of this spot.
STEP 6 Use the supplied drill bit (Number 5 - .205) and drill
a hole 1/2” deep. Thread this hole with the tap supplied (1/4-20).
STEP 7 Place the new bolt handle back on the stub and use the
1/4-20 x 3/8” stainless steel screw supplied. Tighten securely. NOTE:
To prevent this screw from loosening use LOC-TITE® or similiar adhesive
on the threads.
