Well got trigger adjusted as asked and was function testing when the bolt handle broke off the shank of bolt body.

On check rust was discovered on the joint that was there
The bolt handle was two pieces, I have no idea if was a factory or after market but it was made in two pieces.
So I drilled and tapped both 10-32 and mixed up some J/B weld and screwed them togather with J/B after a good degreaseing.

Also glassed the recoil lug when I filled in the gaps in the oversized factory inletting
Next is a test fire

Forgot to add that this rifle was a blind box magizine and the detachable magizine was
Inletted on my mill.
No pictures as it was a cut and try and fit effort.

Not standard, as Cranky said he installed it.
