tac bolt knob install jig

[high country]

Seeing rob post about the rifle he just finished prompted me to share this. It is a jig I built to install tac knobs on 700 bolts. I thought some of you might want a peek so you can do it yourself.

Simple to center on the mill....

 

I use an annular cutter to get rid of that old knob....

 

 Gone!.....

 

And thar she be.....


 

They are threaded 5/16-24 to match badger.....but you can do whatever pitch you want. Just blast and cerakote and call it a job!

I like it!!!

That is pretty awsome, I would be interested in getting some bolt knobs for my 700s, I am not skilled enough to do it myself.

Looks great high country! You can probably open a business with that thing! I am sure a few guys would send you a bolt or 2 to have that work done!

Well carp, its all coming together..... slowly. I have put off buying guns and such (hard for me) to get the finishing touches to kick this baby off. It took longer than I wanted to gather all my eggs, but trying to do it with cash instead of credit when you are just a working class Joe with a family is no easy task.....but its coming together nicely.

Here is a bunch of pics I put up in a local forum.

Are you machining your own knobs as well? Looks nice!

I bet that stuff is not cheap! I bet your investment will pay off in the long run! I will have to dig around and see If I might have a couple for you to do later down the road. I am sure there is a few guys that would love to have you put one on there bolts!

How much do you charge? I have a Remington 700 223rem. Varmint that I would love to have tactical bolt handle installed

You know the big machines are pretty expensive, but when you put an order in to ptg or manson and the bill is $700.00 and it all fits in a book box......that is where the $$ goes bye bye. I dunno if I will ever even try to go full time, but it gave me a hobby that used my skills, and I am not so worried about a guy stealing my #4000 lathe as much as the 15 rifles it would have been.

I do spin the knobs myself, although if a guy with a cnc wanted to earn some $$.......I would love to skip that step.

I get $50 for a raw knob install and $75 gets you a knob installed and the bolt cerakoted graphite black. I can do any color, but at $40 a 4oz.bottle, I don't stock many colors.

This is one of my dream jobs. I have a feeling my GI bill is going to go into machining classes.
