So my keen Interwebz skills led to my discovery a couple weeks ago that the DTA bolt handle threads are the same as Bergara rifles (M6 x 1.0). So, wanting to run a different bolt knob on each of my DTA bolts (for easy tactile differentiation), I purchased an Area 419 bolt knob for a Bergara and had my machinist (Morgan at Class 3 Machining) use an endmill to machine in the "countersink" for the shoulder of the bolt handle. I'm pretty happy with it:

Just another option for the DTA guys out there (especially since Snipe Custom seems to be out of stock)...
