[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2794691, member: 13284"] Tim, If I were undertaking this as a project rifle I would replace the bolt body, perform an arsenal type splice repair in the area that was inletted for the bolt. I am assuming that you will be refinishing the stock so that would make the splice repair relatively easy. The hardest part will be finding a piece of matching Artic Birch. You could also fill the holes in the receiver with the appropriate sized screws, carefully file them flush with the receiver, and darken to match the surrounding finish with cold blue. After doing all that you might have a $175 rifle (to the right person) that will someday be valued at more money than you have in it. At the current asking price I personally wouldn't take it on as a project, but if you do I'd be happy to see another rifle "unbubba'd". :thumb: [/QUOTE]
