Just getting it welded on is only part of it. You need to see photos first to see if the "look" will suit your tastes.

Make sure you understand what is included in a bolt handle job. In addition to the obvious removing the original handle, supplying & welding on a new bolt handle, and shaping/polishing the new handle, the new handle will have to be inlet into the receiver. This last operation requires the receiver and complete firing pin assembly with safety. Overall, the job is not as simple as it sounds. It's also a good example of you get what you pay for, especially from a reputable professional.

Look no further than those mentioned already on this thread, both Tom (dpcd) and Jim do excellent work at a fair price.
