Common issue with remy's that have had a bolt handle install due to what looks like a void, which is the usual cause. I believe the fix is drill and tap, threaded rod, then screw a new bolt handle on. Was the prefered method by some smiths due to this frequency of issue.

Looks like the solution will be a new action that is actually well made.

Barrel is shot.

1 mile, 2nd round hit. Fuck yeah!

He has a gunsmith who may be able to weld it. So lame...

While it is a bit lame, it is what this world has come to. The reality is, you can spend a grand on a quality action or you can try and make due with having your Remington 700 action trued up, bolt knob installed, extractor upgraded, firing pin bushed....$$ that should be spent on the custom action.

The Remington/Savage/Howa will work for 95% out of the box. It's when you stress them with an extended bolt handle, which was machined down from the thick factory diameter causing a stress point, and start jacking on the thing like a shifter in a Mack truck, you are going to see issues.

Remington bolt handles are silver solder on, and there are some good aftermarket solutions for the gunsmith to choose from if the shooter decides to upgrade.

I'm assuming that 700 isn't yours, @Clusterfrack

Negative. The AIAE Mk3 is mine. I’ve also been having fun with my 16” Grendel.

That's what I thought. I don't recall a 700 in your pics.

Love the new BCM handguard. Never seen a handguard fit so freaking tight around the barrel nut! I hope I don’t have to take the thing off for a long time!

If you actually pay for a Remington 700 Action (around $450.00) rather than buying a Promo Rifle on sale at say Dick's, than add for having it trued / blue printed (another $275) and upgraded with a recoil lug and Sako type extractor, you can buy a custom 700 clone that is so much better for under $1,000.00. Once you see how silky smooth a custom action is, you may never go back.

Or maybe a non-700 based design?
