I cut off the the Mauser bolt handle and cut the wrap around part off the replacement handle.
The new handle was butt welded with beveled edges to the stub on the bolt using a heat sink and heat stop paste to protect the bolt from annealing.
I gas welded the parts together , but can see that a Tig welder would work well too.
The welding rod was the high nickel content rod that I get from Brownells just so the weld does not show up when or if you blue the bolt.
But regular welding rod works just fine.
