I'm thinking of adding a Badger Tactical Bolt knob to my remington 700. Who does this service well and reasonable to boot?

If you want it sent out NOW, GAP is probably the best company I know of for certain reasons. If you can wait a week I might be able to do it for $30 if you supply the knob. If you don't have the knob it's $30 + knob cost

GAP does it in a matter of minutes with a CNC mill. Sends it back very quickly. Good price.

Does GAP install a pin as well to reinforce the weak portion of other bolt handle? I have heard of others that do this.

I had David (dpkdavis on here) do two of mine, and I'm extremely satisfied. Pro grade work at only $75 each with $10 shipping and a 24 hour turn around once they arrive? Yes please! I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

Do you know if David can do a clip slot for me on an M40 build I am doing?

No, they don't. But really dude, instead of using the <span style="font-style: italic">"Search"</span> function and reading a bit you chose to resurrect a thread whose last previous post was nearly 3.5 years ago? WTF?

Yes, some bolts have inclusions in them. Some worse than others, Savage bolt handles have some doozies. I drill and tap for a 10-32 hardened cap screw as it helps to strengthen it.

Re: Good place to have a Badger Bolt knob installed?
aries64 on here does them for snipercentral's people.
Tig welded tac ops kit with knob and reinforcing shank. Its about the highest quality way of doing it.
Keith from Phoenix Custom Rifles on here also does a top quality job. He does it a little bit differently, but is setup to do it quickly and can work with you on refinishing the bolt at the same time.
Edit: Just noticed. Holy thread revival, batman!
