Re: Bolt Knob
Made the knob on the manual at work from 7075. I didn't have a jig to turn to handle down, so I used the belt sander to rough it and finished it with a file. I was only making it for the one rifle I have so I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time making a jig. Finished it with a die. About 2 hours begining to end, I didn't was to screw it up! Went out and did some shooting today and I really like how it feels to cycle the action now. Weather was the worst I have ever gone shooting in, absolutely miserable. That's the excuse I'm using for my crap results.

Re: Bolt Knob
Much better then my knob, and the die grinder is a messy way to "mill" the bolt handle down.
That phoenix knob is nice, do you sell them or only installed? matte black would be nice.
This pic was ruff finished both the knob and bolt.
