A. Have it forged

B. Cut it off and weld on a new bolt handle

C. Cut the current bolt handle off about 1/8 in from the bolt body, turn it upside down and weld it back on. Bend to suit.

D. Or this: http://www.gswagner.com/bb/mau.../mauboltssolder.html

Check this guy out, I think he has a seven day turn-around gaurantee and he's in Fairbanks, AK. By the way, he does great work.

I have a few M96's and I sent my bolts off to Bob's gunshop, he is pretty quick, consistent work and the price was $60 or so and he furnishes the new handle, welds it on and polishes it.
See the link address below.
I could post a picture of one if you like.
