Loose bolt handle on a Remington 512

[Andy54Hawken]

So I recently traded for a 1942 dated Remington 512 rifle.
It is pretty good shape with no real abuse or neglect.
It shoots nicely too.

That said...
The bolt handle is loose in the shank which connects it to the actual bolt.
Any way to tighten this....?
I ain't so loose that it won't work the bolt...or is in danger of breaking or becoming unattached.
So I suppose I could just let things be.....

Seems to be a common problem. Lots of fixes here.

I'm not familiar with the 512, but if it's a dovetailed handle, you could shim it with shim stock to tighten it up.
