White Lodge Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi All. I am looking for a gunsmith to put an oversized bolt knob on the bolt of my SPS Varmint. Trouble is it is a left handed bolt so not a standard operation, can anyone recommend a gunsmith who could do this? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I thought aftermarket oversized bolt heads were available for most popular makes? A mate simply bought one for his T3. Failing that, any gunsmith who can chop and re- screw for a mod' should be able to do it; you buy the knob and they chop your existing one and re- thread to the relevant size. Hope this helps.

White Lodge Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks Scully, I have the head but not the wherewithal to fit it. I was going to get Rodger at Rimfire Magic to do it when I bought the rifle but Sheila said they couldn't owing to not having a left handed jig.

Scully Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 While not really understanding the 'left handed jig' thingy,could you not simply take your rifle bolt to a competent gunsmith who could cut off the existing head,re-thread and screw on your bolt head? I'm pretty certain it would be straight forward for anyone who has chopped and screwed a barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
