    Default Oversize Bolt Knob

    Decided to go heat up the garage today and install my bolt knob. I cut the old knob down to a square and then rounded it to .313", threaded and installed. Pretty easy, only took me about 45 minutes. Now I guess I will go reload or something.

    The original knob.


    In the vice and cut.


    Threaded


    Installed


    Heres the gun with the new knob. Still has a little junk on it from the tape I used to protect it.

    Came out nice, but you put it on the wrong side of your rifle.

    No it was easy, the die does all the work. If you have never used a tap or die before just take your time and keep oil on it.

    Nice job, looks great!

    How do you like it compared to the factory knob?

    Good work. Two questions: What knob did you use? Did you go round from the square with a file?
