Thinking if a mandrel was made to better support the knob in the lathe, ya might be able to knurl it on the machined area. But if you don't have one, knurling tools aren't cheap. Really good point. It takes alot of pressure, even on aluminum, to knurl. I think I might try this myself.

It was a cap that came on a Stiller bolt.

This one is a shaped-down rubber one, however, the vinyl are simply cut to length and shove on... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/cLvYppFs/IMG-0992.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CxFRsWCp/IMG-0067.jpg)

MtnBoomer,
Have those turrets been cut down, or just the turret removed and leg tip pushed on?

Do that, cut em in half and do something with the big stupid eye piece.... Pretty much like they're ultra light, in variable powers, they'd own the market..... Hint...

Can you show a photo of the windage turret without the rubber/vinyl caps on?

Several photos in several of the first posts are missing; however, about a third to a half the way down the page there are a series of photos with that which you seek. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/11607645/SWFA_6x42_sans_the_big_f'ing_w

I think they look great and in the case where I stated I had issues with my Sako A7's ejection, the turned down turrets would make a big deal on function of the rifle as well. Great job!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
