I find myself in need of a Remington bolt knob. Handle is threaded. I do not like the big tactical style bolt knobs you often see. What is the smallest available bolt knob anyone has seen that can screw onto a threaded handle? TIA

I'm not a fan of big knobs either, so I went with Hollands bolt handles timed & tig welded on several guns.

Won't help you now, but something to consider in the future.

PTG has small round ones.

Kampfeld Campfire knob is excellent.

Now you’re talking!

+1, I have had Karl do a number of them for my rifles, I like them better than the factory one, and don't think they are overly big compared to many other ones out there.

+3 ... This is the route I went for a bolt knob on a Forbes rifle...

PT&G has some options (depending on the threads with your existing handle):

**DOH**
Looks like 30338 has covered this already.

I wish I were correct handed...or my rifles were. For lightweight guns I just hollow out the (Rem) stock handles. For those I want to add a knob to (you know, they’re really not knobs), I go small and add Karl’s Campfire knob w/flutes. A naked knob (sans flutes) just looks so.....naked. Not good in this case.

This is a nice little one. I have one on a Mack Bros Evo. It’s a lot smaller than it looks. I’ll post Some pics tomorrow.

Pls do post a picture.

Yes, it is. I have one on one of my Rem 700's, love it.

Pure Precision Slim Tactical Bolt knob from Red Hawk Rifles

Mack Bros Evo factory knob

Awesome thanks. Just ordered a Pure Precision Slim from Red Hawk as it is a skosh smaller than the Kampfeld Campfire knob.

I just noticed I had my list mixed up. The Pure Precision Slim is in the middle.

its funny everyone is posting pics of giant bolt handles. I am not really a fan either. this would be what I call a small one. http://nesikafirearms.com/round_action.html

If i could buy one that looked like that without a whole new bolt i would.

I have made hundreds of bolt knobs from dozens of materials.


Start with a bushing with 5/16-24 internal thread.

Clarkm; Excellent handle and video and your drill press plays the didgeridoo too! I might try one like that with Tx. Eboney.

I like the "Tacticool" WWII Pineapple Hand Grenade bolt knobs.

Thanks, you got me to watch my own video. The camera mounted on the mill table does sound like a didgeridoo.

I have experimented with a lot of bolt handle sizes and shapes.



Like pistol handles and chisel handles, I have found they figured it out over 100 years ago. All my designs are screwy when I try to reinvent the wheel. I have made some dorky, but original handles. I find it is best to copy an existing handle shape that feels good in the hand.
The one that seems perfect to me is the Glade Armory tactical bolt handle.

I copy the Glade shape and size, but improve on the color, weight, and specific heat.

Fascinating Clark. Loved watching the video

I got my pure precision slim with spiral flutes. I like it but the guy who threaded my bolt handle left the shank a little too long so the pure precision knob does not sit flush on the bolt handle. Should be an easy fix for mr beanland when he get’s it for my project in the next week or so

Edited to add that the PP Slim weighs 0.5 oz

Too late now I guess, but I really like the American Precision Arms knobs.

I make a nice one that I call the “Hunter Knob”. It’s small but handles nice. I can send pics tomorrow
