Lots and lots of bolt knobs there.

I think it's difficult to get a hold of Matt. I'm trying to get a hold of him now. He does some nice work!

I do a lot of bolt knob installs.
I cut off the old knob and tig weld in a stud that the knob threads on to.

For others that might ask, here is how I do it...

I start out by cutting off the existing knob:


The bolt goes into the vise in a fixture that sets the angle and then it's milled perpendicular:


A hole is driled down into the shank:


A setscrew is turned down into a pin that will lightly press into the hole:


The setscrew is pressed into the bolt handle shank:


The setscrew is tig welded to the bolt handle shank:


The bolt knob threads on to the setscrew:

KRG (kinetic research group) makes a polymer knob that locks on around the 700 stock knob without requiring permanent knobs. I have badger and surgeon knobs and have run this knob and it does the trick too.
