Mosin Nagant ATI bolt handle

[Suther]

Does anyone sell JUST the bolt handle, or can you only get it as part of a package with the ATI Scope mount?

I see Marstar sells the kit for $60, and just the mount for $40, so I was thinking the handle is only worth ~$20 if its actually sold seperately???

Close, but no cigar.

That one requires welding the new handle in, the ATI one only requires cutting off the old one to a stub and drill/tap/bolt on the new one.

Our does not require welding. It is better to weld it. I don't know why Ati is better?

"You will need to cut off your straight bolt handle, drill and tap and then screw in the bent bolt and weld it on to make your straight bolt into a bent bolt." - Thats what your description says.

Its not that the ATI is any better, per say, it just seemed like an easier job for me to do myself with the tools I have available. You leave a bit of the old bolt handle on and use that to align the new one. I feel like I could do it in a vice with a drill without issue(thats how the youtube video did it), meanwhile your style I would much prefer to use a drill press to make sure I get the hole nice and straight. I feel like I could screw it up easier with your handle.

That said, I have no interest in the ATI scope mount - I only want the bolt handle, so for half the price I still may get the one you guys sell and find someone with a drill press.

I believe the ATI requires cutting a slot in the stock to accomodate the handle . The welded ones do not.

Find a gunsmith that can cut and install with weld. It cost here about 60 dollars but it looks much nicer than Ati.
