If you remove the AR then definitely pad the plunger with high density foam or felt. As long as you don't go crazy with the spring, you'll be fine.

The issue with the bolt handle is the attachment point. It's on a ring around the plunger tube. No amount of putty is going to be able to strengthen it. You can make the handle itself stronger by filling it with putty, but that won't improve the handle attachment point.

Again, if you don't go crazy with the spring, the handle will be fine. The stock catch spring is quite strong. You won't have to upgrade it.

Good luck. Post pics.
