The TIG Pulse PURGE process is the technique to use.
MICRO-TIG would work also,but I do not want to be looking through a microscope 10-12hrs a day.
If you are a certified TIG welder an explanation of the PURGE PROCESS is self explanatory.
For a certifiable TIG weld inert gas(Argon/Helium/Mix) is used to keep the atmosphere from contaminating the weld/parent metal surrounding the weld puddle/bead on both sides.
A threaded plug as a heat sink,no matter what the threaded piece is made of,does not accomplish that.
As mentioned in a previous thread-lead should not be a consideration as a heat sink or you'll die younger than desired & create one heck of a mess without a PURGE.
I'd like to post pictures/video of the process,but several of my TIG welded bolt/handles have shown up on web sites/forums with claims from others that did not accomplish the work.
Where did Scott get the idea to use an action to time/fixture/clamp a handle-ME.You're Welcome!!

Dans40X,
I have several custom bolt handles, a one-time run by a Custom Action maker, for 700s. They match the extraction cam better than any Remington. They are made from 303 s.s. The Custom action maker silver solders his bolt handles.
Can you TIG 303 s.s.? I can't find anything that specifically states that you CAN or CANNOT TIG weld 303. It would be TIG welded to a Rem bolt.

Jay,
No problem TIG welding 303 S/S to 4100 CrMo with a purge process.
Without a purge process 303 will cold crack.
The nickel content of non magnetic S/S will not be comparable to 4100 or 416 S/S as welded.
Have you tried work hardening one of your 300 series handles??
e-mail me-
I need a measurement to time your bolt handle.

i used to tig for a living we used inert-gas purged welding chambers for weldable goods that would resemble a bolt and handle for exemple. we would back gas or purge pipes with a dam on one end and a dam on the other with 100% argon were two pipes would meet for work out side the chamber . iam trying to understand how your doing your purge process without a chamber and since your argon is flowing around the weld why would you need to purge something that is essentially a lap joint on the bolt radius and a fillet weld on the rear of the handle and bolt .my weld background was aerospace the square wave pulse arc machine was made for this industry so i am familiar with it but would like to understand the purge process
benchduck-
I've used quite a few balloons to DAM pipe joints for TIG welding root passes on heavy wall pipe-then the stick/mig welders have at it.
I've used a few other items to dam purge gas -condoms are the first item that come to mind,duct tape as a last resort.
I'm purging the bolt body instead of just using a heat sink threaded into the bolt body during the process to keep the cocking cam/handle unaffected by heat.
