Gunsmithing Bending Nucleus bolt handle back?

[Wrongtarget]

Has anyone tried this? Looking for the easiest way as I haven’t seen any aftermarket options.
Thanks

I’d talk to Long rifles as I’m almost positive they did it on a nucleus or Mausingfield.

We've not done it (yet) but its been a topic between Ted and I. I don't see it as impossible. Just warm it up and put a kink in it.

Biggest thing to know is the finish (DLC or Nitride) is going to get killed in the process. Just no real good way to avoid that.

Thanks for the heads up.

Pretty sure short action customs did that with the prototype they had but I might be wrong. Think it was on Facebook a long time ago.
