GUNSMITHING SERVICES: Time/TIG and Time advance/Tig Handle attachement for M700
Our Bolt handle fitting process for the M700 restores the Primary Extraction feature after the action has been blueprinted. Careful TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding aids in joint reliability by creating a stronger union at the shear point between the bolt handle and bolt body. The process we use is a combination of welding and soldering. First, we TIG weld the joint along the shear points. The mating parts are then silver soldered to bolster the adhesion for additional strength. The combination delivers a very reliable means of permanently attaching the bolt handle to the bolt body. When working with blueprinted receivers it is very common for the Primary Extraction function of the receiver to require additional work. Traditional "timing" involves positioning the handle so that it engages more of the receiver's cam surface. While this does work, we have to take extra measures by adding material to the bolt handle's cam surface. This involves additional welding to "advance the
