Gunsmithing Deviant defiance bolt handle question

[sid]

Are all bolt knobs removeble on these actions? My action is black and I don't see a seam between the knob and the handle.

Before I start breaking something I thought I'd better ask

Thank you

I was able to unscrew mine, mine is stainless deviant tactical, it may just be the nitrite is done when the handle and knob are assembled so there is no seem? I’m interested to find out

Mine is nitrided and I can unscrew it. It was actually loose at the last match. Something felt off when cycling the action but I couldn’t figure it out until I saw the knob about to fall off.

 

[GuNinja]

Yeah I figured it would be the same. Just give it a twist OP.

Yes sir. They are all made with threaded on knobs.

Thank you all, I'll try if it moves

Old thread, I know. But, I had to use a strap wrench to get mine off. Maybe that'll help someone else searching this in the future.
