Gunsmithing Howa 1500 Tactical Bolt Knob Conversions!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Howa 1500 Tactical Bolt Knob Conversions!!!!!!!!!!

JJones75,

See the threads. I had to use the threading toolholder I got from you, it works great with the exception that I need the insert for higher pitch threads.

Thanks again!

Hey Guys, sorry about the delay, been busy with the shop. Here are a few more pictures of the conversion I did today.

Price is $95, that covers supplying a new Badger Knob, performing the conversion and shipping the bolt back to you.

Turn around is 1 day.





Thanks for the compliments. It takes longer to indicate the Howa and Savage bolt handles in than blueprinting an action. It is done in the same fashion where I indicate two points on the handle so the knob and she section about 1"-1.5" to the left so its running perfectly true. When everything is dialed in I start making my cuts and bring the old knob down and turn it into a .312 shaft and thread it to 5/16 x 24. I leave part of the original knob to the left of this. Once Its threaded I start fitting the knob and pushing the should back until the old knob starts to transition into the new knob.

So there you have it, that is how I get everything looking good and correct. It takes a good hour and half to do this conversion because of the pain in the butt set up and fitting the contour correctly.

If you have any more questions just send me an email or PM.

By the way, this is my Loaner Badger knob that I do all of my fitting on, thats why its dinged up and has a worn out line between the knob and handle.

Yes, it will be the same.

Looks like I'll be able to grab a heavy barreled Howa action for around $200 before DROS and fees in Cali... Serious contemplating a build on Howas now. Tag another $200ish for the B&C and add my USO to it, I should have a good shooter out of the box.

Mark, I may be contacting you soon!

avd, whose rail did you use? </div></div>

Sounds good,

We used a rail from Legacy Sports, I will have to see how actually makes it, but they make 0 and 20 MOA rails.

308 Dude,

any refinishing would be extra. Refinishing is not required for my conversion.

Yes I do. If you look at the bottom half of my "bolt knob conversion" page on my website there will be plenty of info on the work I do. Also feel free to call or email if you have any more questions.
