need some help.....

[shakes]

I'm wanting to know if anybody among us with machining skills could possibly turn down the bolt knob on a rem 700 and thread it so I could add a tacticle style bolt knob. i know its difficult to mount the bolt to be able to turn it down and add threads, just tossing it out there to see if it could be done.
Thanks and a Merry Christmas to all.

Uncle Marvin can't do it?????

[Jerry G]

I know someone that did it so it can be done. He just does work for himself.

The most often used approach to what you want to do is taking the bolt handle off and replacing it with one of the aftermarket ones from midway or brownell's, Basspro here in Denver can do it as well as most full service gunsmithing operations.

Could you grind it to a cylindrical contour then run a threading die of appropriate dimensions onto the mating surface of the handle?

Normally I grind the ball round, and then thread it to what ever size you specify. I have done several Rem. 700 and Anchutz.

Help me understand someting, why post a response that you can do what somebody has asked and then not respond when they want to give you WORK!!

[Evelio Mc Donald]

Easy shakes - why sit at the computer when you can go to range or a machine shop?

[Bob259]

Because it's too cold here to go hae fun at the range..... We need to get more work to Evelio so he has less time to play Just kidding my friend, enjoy the range time and good weather.

Like I said, "when you can go to the range..." On the other hand, if he can go to the range when the rest of can't, he will get a ration of <ahem> stuff.
