tactical bolt knob

[aggieffbfd]

Can anyone give me info on how to change my bolt knob on my rem 700. looking to put a tactical one on. Is it hard to do at home or do i need a smith to take care of it. Have a lil expierence with working on guns. Rebuilt a savage 10 from hunting 308 to tactical rifle. Was my first attempt and learned alot. So was thinking that i accomplished that how hard could it be to change the bolt knob
Thanks

It isn't rocket surgery.

If you are mechanically inclined with attention to detail I'd say go for it.

Easiest is the stud route, next up is the Tac Ops which involves welding or solder (your choice), and at the top of the DIY difficulty list (if you don't have access to a mill) is threading the handle itself.

Plenty has been posted on the Hide about all three options. Research and choose which you think you're capable of and get going.

Re: tactical bold knob

found the knob i want...and was looking at threading the handle and using expoy to make it permenant. I just have a hard time looking on here for installation instructions. Am fairly new to the site but loving it so far. Am really not wanting to send it off, thanks for the GA post...those guys rock love the way rifles look.

I did this exact same thing on my own Remmy 700P. but insted of using JB weld all I did was thread the post on the Tac Ops knob adapter to a 8-32, the I tapped the bolt hole with the same 8-32. Then red loctite and tighten it down by putting a nut on the large threads (for the knob) and use a wrench. Then just screw on the knob. VERY easy to do and its very strong, my rifle fell out of my Wifes Tundra onto our driveway and landed on the boly knob. Didnt break or even bend. I cant see paying someone for it in my case, it was only a 20 minute job. Then again I also thought doing my own paddle mag release on my HK was easy too....

I installed my Badger knob myself. I found it to be a pretty easy mod.
