Anybody try either or the KRG bolt knows on a Howa bolt handle? I just want a round ball type bolt knob like the Sterk or the one Savage puts on some of their guns. I don't want to buy a 180$ PTG bolt just for a different knob.

The KRG looks like what it is, a plastic afterthought.

The Bolt On QLK could fool you for a much more expensive, machined and threaded knob from less than 5 feet away: https://www.boltonquickloadknob.com/shop-bolt-on-qlk/

All my Howas have one

I just don't like the pineapple/hand grenade ones. Just want a round sphere. So have a smith thread the handle or does the Howa bolt handle come out like a Tikka?

You'll have to send the entire bolt. The handle and the bolt body are machined out of one forging. You can't separate the handle from the bolt.

Yeah gonna go bolt on then. Unless I send it in to get the barrel threaded. Probably goingoing with a McGowan Howage setup later anyways.
