What is involved in changing a bolt on a mosin to a bent bolt?

[Nelson84]

Could a kitchen table gunsmith like myself change a bolt easy enough? Or it it a whole thing.

You can always get a hold of westrifle and see if they have any bent bolt bodies left. They are not cheap tho. All that is really involved is to replace the bolt body alone. you keep the head of the original.

Bubba at work....never like to hear "Mosin Nagant" in conjunction with "drill", "tap", "vise" or "ATI". (Just my opinion)
