Re: More bolt knob installation pictures

I'd turn in my notice if we could teach them to blend in a seam that well, they wouldn't need me around to hassle the guys anymore.
do you do anything for tikka? i haven't seen anything i particularly like over the factory handle, most everything is too big for my taste. something easier to grad, swept back, but not overly large. </div></div>
Thanks so much! I've never considered myself much of a welder, but I self-taught myself on the TIG and have been happy with my results on these lately. The blending process has been a never-ending experiment for me, but I feel that now I've gotten my abrasive selection nailed down well enough that I don't plan to tweak it anymore.
I've done some Tikkas in the past, but I'm still working on a more permanent drop-in bolt handle replacement, rather than having to modify the factory bolt handles. Modifying them is no big deal, but I'd like to be able to offer a replacement for the guys who may want to go back to the factory handle at some point.
Thanks!
