    Well that didn't go so well.

    Tried to do a angled bolt handle. Where the angle was made into the base of the handle, it looks nasty in the handle slot. Can't change it now.

    The handle is not as big as it looks in the picture. But it is a little too long.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    It still fits in the channel
    You could open it up a bit to even things out but then you would have to match the stock finish which could be interesting.

    Does not look bad at all! Did you make that yourself?

    Time to break out the die grinder and the bondo! Open the rear of the slot up for clearance, then use the bondo to fill in a little of the front side of the slot so the gap is evened out. Lightly scuff the rest of the stock with 400-grit, spray on a fresh coat of Krylon Fusion and call it good.
