I know there are probaly more out there, but I thought it would be good to compile a photo log of the available custom bolt knobs for those that are searching for that PERFECT knob. Please add other photos of different knobs that you know of.

Top left picture. I have one on a .223 bolt gun and love it... I think AZ still calls it the phenox knob. For me the ribs add a little traction for sweety hands.

Re: Custom Bolt Knob Options
My three fav's are the badger ordnance, the TacOps, and the PTG with knurling. i really like the elongated tear drop shapes as they seem to fit my hand better and work better for me when reaching for and manipulating the bolt. just feel more natural to me.

Re: Custom Bolt Knob Options
Damn TXBRASS.
May I use that if ever needed?
Just for the heck of it, here are some old pics of bolts done in the past.
Here's a Long action and Short action Remington 700 Cerakoted black up to the lugs. The long action has the Phoenix knob, and the short action has the Varminter
Here's another bolt completely Cerakoted, with a Phoenix knob
And yet another Phoenix knob installed, polished to match the Stainless 5R bolt

Re: Custom Bolt Knob Options
AZ wins for variety!
What about Short Action Customs? He has some knob install pics here also somewhere... Some Howas and Savages there...
Keith, do you still make custom knobs? I have a custom one from Keith. Still looking for some o-rings for the grooves and also to alumihide it.

I will make variations of my knobs, but nothing too different. I've only gotten about 8 requests for way different kobs in the past year. And about 5 requests for knurling on them.

Great post, <span style="font-style: italic">TXBRASS</span>. I'm curious - do you know who did the install on the Tac Ops Bolt Knob Conversion in the photo you used in your bolt knob montage? I ask because the install looks wonky and the handle-to-boss blend is quite visible. Not an accurate representation of the knob itself.
Below are three photos of a correctly-installed and finished TO Bolt Knob. Please feel free to use any or all of them in place of the photo you used in your montage.

Hmmm. Still no update of your bolt knob montage? As I said before, great post, <span style="font-weight: bold">but the photo you used in your montage is not an accurate representation of the knob itself.</span> <span style="font-style: italic">Whoever did that install is a hack, and f'ed the install up bigtime.</span>

yeah DA customs sorry guys. I actuley just became a member here so i have yet to see the video. (link anyone?) I wasn't actually interested in a torque knob (i don't think) Im not even sure what that is LOL I just happen to like the style and knurling on the DA custom knob that is pictured although the knob T-wall posted looks pretty fancy as well.
Get any info on that yet T-Wall??
Thanks
