I sold a 700 SenderoSF 338RUM to a fella on another forum and he took it out and put a few rounds through it and the bolt handle came off. He alluded that I had "glued" the bolt handle on before. Silly me, I thought they were tig welded onto the bolt as I never had one come off. What say you ginsmiths?

Silver soldered on and happens from time to time and shouldn't.

I've been around rifles around 40yrs or so (3 of that in the Corps). Saw it happen once, and no, a Marine wasn't driving.

I've seen a few of the Remington handles come off - usually when the guy is using a hammer to open the bolt. Ask the guy what his load was.
