Here is a Charles Daly .22lr that lived in hunting camp for about 10 years. I broke off the bolt handle at my friends house several years back. I left it in his garage and forgot about it. Fast forward to last year, and he brought it back to me in the pile of parts I left it in. Most of the work is cosmetic with the exception of soldering the bolt handle back on. Some kids somewhere will get a nice rifle this Christmas.

I had to reshape the handle with a bench grinder and drill out and reshape the pocket where it attaches to the bolt body. I really need to start ta king before and after pics.
