    Wondering about taking the stock bolt handle and heating it up to reshape it and forge out the ball to lengthen the handle. I am building an Axis bullpup and I would like to extend the bolt handle longer and angle it forward. Figured once it was drawn out, then I could thread the end and screw a knob on the end.

    Just didn't know how that alloy would react to being forged and reshaped. Anyone know if it is cast or forged to make it?
