Can anyone recommend a shop or smith that can weld a new handle on my CZ 416 Rigby as pictured below?   | ||

Try dpcd here on the forum. He was great to work with and did a fine job. I sent accu-tig an email about a new bolt handle for a ZG-47. I was trying to be clear - not a pest. ________________________________________________ David, Seems that I have more questions than you have answers. I’ll pass.

And David Kim was great to work with as well and in no way did his communications lack clarity. I do not have an accutig. I have a regular TIG. Don't know the difference anyway. | |||

Pretty much been my experience with Accutig with anything other than M14 gas cylinder unitizing and minor Remington 700 bolt handle work. Sent several Mauser bolts with clear pics from his website, as per instructions, and had them returned with same type answer. | |||

Thanks for that information. Not a great spot for sleepwalking.  | |||

Maybe contact Wayne at CZ American hunting rifles. He reworked a CZ for a friend, quick turnaround and my bud was pleased with the work. | |||

Thanks for that idea. Wayne won't weld bolt handles on CZ's. Said the metallurgy was unfavorable. He likes bending the stock bolt handles, and filling in the hole with whatever he uses. He does do excellent work. I really like his synthetic stock. | |||

I sent Accutig 2 AMT pistol magazines to be welded. Turned them around and back in 7 business days to SC. They had to make a custom heat sink for the thin metal. Perfect job. | |||

I believe I once owned the rifle in the picture. Tom Burgess bolt handle installed by Tom Burgess. I don’t know anything about the metallurgy or CZ bolts, but Tom seemed to not have any issues. However, I guess that was to be expected of Tom Burgess. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

Yes, that was typical of Tom. I think I have found someone to do the job. I should have an interarms stock for a pattern, and will send that plus two blanks | |||

I have had many done by Dan at Accutig.com. Great work,inexpensive, and very quick. He may not always have the personality of your favorite lady, but is very good and honest. I can provide a lot of photos! | |||
