The bolt has to much space between the front of the bolt and The action when the bolt is closed can it be moved in and solder back on it would have to have a few thousands removed from the back of the bolt body. The caulking cam slot would have to reworked too.

Re: Bolt clearance
What problem is this causing? Is the rifle still functional and how does it shoot. If its just cosmedic, fix as you see fit. Otherwise it can be acuratly timed and attached were it needs to be.

Re: Bolt clearance
I'm not sure I understand what your saying , did you meen to much space inbetween the bolt handel and action , but if your bolt handel is located a little to far back on the bolt then you will loose some of the extraction cam , that angel should not have to be reworked if te handel is moved forward providing that they are correct now.
I have seen a handel that was so far back on the bolt that it was actualy acting like a recoil lug in the back of the bolt handel cutout , the bolt hadel would flex untill the lugs made contact and take the rest of the pressure , this eventualy lead to a hold handel comming off.
Nathan Dagley has some pretty good vids explaing bolt timing and such , look on the left side and check them out

if your going to go through the trouble of taking the handel off and replacing it then you should ahev it tig welded back on and installed by sombody that knows what their doin
