Gunsmithing Need to get a threaded bolt handle

[sentry1]

I have my PTG bolt already, but I just realized they don't sell the angled bolt handles with the threading for an oversized bolt knob. I already have my Badger bolt knob, I just need to purchase an angled bolt handle threaded for the Badger knob.

What are my options?

Sounds like you bought a 2-piece PTG bolt? Only way I can think of would be to have the angled knob installed, then threaded as any factory remington bolt would be threaded.

PTG does make and sell a machined, angled bolt handle threaded for any of the standard aftermarket tactical bolt knobs, such as the Badger. I have several of them, so I'm 100% certain on that point.

Yep, I got a 2-piece bolt setup. I don't recall why I made that decision, but oh well.

As far as I can see, PTG offers the angled bolt handles with standard knobs, they only offer the straight bolt handles pre-threaded.

They do make them(bottom middle photo). You may have to call.

I see it, but there's darn sure no way to actually order it. I did call them up, and as of yesterday they don't offer a swept handle with the threading.

I guess I'll call around a few places and see what's the easiest way to just have someone thread a swept bolt handle and send it to me.

It's possible with ptg you may have to call and talk to 8 different girls to get a correct answer. If tbac and vortex customer service is a 10, ptg is around a 2 at best. Dave is the only one who knows anything it seems, but then try getting a hold of him, and once you're done, see if the girl he transfers you to can find what he suggested.

That's frustrating!

We stopped making the swept threaded bolt handle when we started making one piece bolts . They are easy to bend on the one piece bolts . You would not believe how many people would buy the swept handle and complain that it either needed to be bent more or it needed to be bent less . I tell folks to do it like Remington does when they install are threaded handle , they heat it and bend it to what ever angle they need.
