Anyone know where I can get a bolt( just the tube and handle, don't need whole assembly)?

I need one for a Remington 770 7mm Rem Mag.

Used would even be better. Gun isn't worth paying for a new one.

  That appears to have been soldered. Poor grade of solder or poorly done at that.
  A good cleaning and Brownells HighForce 44 solder would make it better than new. Cheaper than a replacement bolt would be without possible headspace issues.

  If it were mine I would silver solder it back together after cleaning it up really good..
  No real need to replace it, even if you could find one..

  A good gunsmith could fix that with no problem!

  One would think that Remington would learn from past mistakes. This appears to be the same method that they used on 788 bolts. They used a furnance brazing method, and many of them, for whatever reason, have broken of like yours. I would recommend filing the edges of the bolt handle on a fairly wide angle and having it tig welded.Be sure to clean all the brazing material of before welding and clean with Brake Clean, or something similar. Much stronger than solder, and cheaper than a new bolt, if you can find one. Have had probably a dozen 788 bolts repaired in this manner with no problems.
