Mosin bent bolt repair

[Catt57]

I'm looking for someone that could repair a Bubba'd bolt. It currently has the ATI bent bolt mod and it looks (and feels) terrible. What I'm wanting is to have the current bolt handle removed and a proper bent handle made and installed at the same angle to match the current stock inlet. I'm also assuming there will be a need to somehow fill and polish where the current screw goes in to make it look right. This is the # matching bolt hence my desire to salvage it.

The other question would be what kind of cost might be involved.

There are a few who offer the service in eBay. I have heard of people using them with success

The eBay adds very from 50-100 dollars

My concerns there are
1. eBay rates don't include the work I would need
2. I have no references for any specific eBay seller
3. quality of the work is important

One thing you may need to do is buy a scrap bolt for the ball since you probably don't have that.

Bolt mans work looks like ass. My buddy learned the hard way.

Well that's disappointing he is like number one when you google it.

First time I have ever heard a complaint on Boltmans work. He is rated as the best on the Gunboards forum and is usually swamped with work. I had 5 Mosin bolts done by him a few years back and his work was excellent.
Care to expand on what looked like ass and are you sure it was the Boltman that did the work.

The bolt did not look like a sniper bolt and had grindmarks all over the handle. Overall it was just a bad job.
