I have one of these that the bolt handle is loose in the bolt body.
I have seen several of these guns with the same problem.
The handle appears to be staked in the locking lug. I am reluctant to sliver solder it cause of the heat involved. Can it be re staked? The bolt sleve is only about a sixteenth of an inch thick. I fear that it may break fairly easily. Drill and pin? What?

Life is good
