Is there any place that can straighten out a factory Rem 700 bolt handle? I'd also like to have it threaded for a mid size bolt knob as well. I'm building a truck/hunting rifle and I have a stock for it, but the cutout for the bolt handle is straight and not swept back like the factory Remington.

you could always just inlet the stock, there wont be a way to "bend" the bolt with out re soldering it back on. best way to do it is inlet the stock and thread the bolt handle

Check PTG I think they sell a straight handle that has a threaded end. This would likely be easier than trying to straighten one out

I would sweat the existing handle off the bolt and weld on a straight PTG handle that's already threaded.
