Hello,
I recently purchased an older Savage 10fp le-1(?) with a flat rear receiver ring. I want to update the original (small) bolt knob to the Savage factory large round knob. I have looked in the usual places (Brownell's, Midwayusa, etc.) to no avail. I called Savage and spoke to a CS representative who stated that they never offered the larger bolt knob on the flat receivers. I'm pretty sure I've seen a rifle so equipped though... I've read that you can put the newer round receiver bolt handle on the older flat receiver bolt and it will function fine (although look a bit odd) but I would like to find the correct handle if possible. So my question is...does such a bolt handle exist and if so, does anybody know where I can get one?
Thanks,
S
I hope this is the proper place to post this question...I can't imagine a part that requires one bolt to be removed could be considerd gunsmithing...thanks again.
