Can a guy swap knobs on a Leupold MK4 with target knobs to the M1 or M3 knobs for example? Or would there be aftermarket parts to do something like this? Anyone done it?
 
Re: Leupold Knob Swap

Call Leupold. Their custom shop can do the M1 conversion for you for just under $200 shipped. I don't think they can convert to M3. I called a while ago on converting M1 to M3 and was told no.

You'll have to call Leupold. They can change out some, but not all. I have read that M1 will be able to change out to M5. However, M3 will not be able to change to M5. This is just what I read. It makes sense to me, but I have not called to confirm.

What they told me the other day; <span style="font-weight: bold">SOME</span> MkIV's can be changed to MIL knobs, and IIRC the VXIII's or any other with the target knobs can have M1 knobs installed. I believe the price he told me was 160.

Just had an M1 to M5 conversion done, was $147.99.

OP the best way to find out for your scope is to contact Leupold.
