Sounds like I have an alternative to Guns & Leather now. Comes in pretty handy right about now. Coletta, it appears he is just setting up shop here. What work has he done for you?

Give Keith a call at Phoenix Customs Rifles. I seems pretty fast even when you don't ask him to be. If you ask him, who knows how fast he can turn it around.

If you are local to the San Antonio area I can take care of Remington or Savage over a weekend. Sounds as if shipping is your enemy here. overnight both ways will be needed.

If you rifle is a savage its cheaper to just buy another bolt handle than send it off. I think most are under fifty.

I just got the dies in the mail to tackle this job myself and will be attempting soon. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Re: Who can do a bolt knob fast?
If you do the install yourself, go with a 5/16x24 knob. Like a Badger, or I could make one of mine that thread size for you.
That way, you can turn/sand/grind your existing(factory) knob down to .312" and run a 5/16x24 die down it, then screw on the knob. Careful work, along with some epoxy and paint when done, and you can make it look good even without a lathe or mill.
If you DO have a lathe or mill, you're golden.
As long as you leave the handle alone above the factory knob, no matter what happens if you dont like it I can cut it off and install one the way I was taught and it wont be effected by the prior work.
Any guys that want to try it at home, feel free to give me a call with any questions. Id be glad to try to help.

Finished product... not too difficult, a steady hand with a cut off wheel and a bench grinder, a buddy with the right size die handle, and some patience.............

Re: Who can do a bolt knob fast?
I have used mid TN gunsmithing for a while. He has bedded, cut, crowned, threaded, parked, cerakkoted, lapped, trued, reamed, fabricated, ..., and consulted on a lot of stuff for me. Top notch guy. If I can dream it he can build it.
Soon to add laser engraved

Re: Who can do a bolt knob fast?
I did mine in about an hour with a vise, hacksaw, 12" file and a die. Looks about like the one I paid to have done professionally. YMMV
