D Johnson Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi all I’m looking to get the bolt on a Howa turned down and preferably a longer tapered knob put on. Any recommendations regarding whom to go to ??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMLE Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 You can get a clamp on fake bolt knob from most folks who supply Howa’s. I bought one about a year ago as £34 seemed worth a gamble. I think it works great. There is no wobble or slack if you tighten the two halves together correctly and I’ve been surprised to have a couple of people tell me I’ve got a nice knob.....! Got mine from Livens in Burton, but as I say, you can pick them up all over. Cheaper than a bolt conversion and works just as well in my humble opinion.

Cheers for that Yeah I’ve seen them and the rubber slip on 🙄 ball type which actually ain’t that bad in use but I was wanting to get the end turned down, threaded and a proper screw on type done. I guess there are plenty of gunsmiths/rifle builders out there more than capable of doing it but was just wondering if anyone had good or bad experiences with any in particular.

Ballistol Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I’ve had a few done now by Dave at Valkyrie Rifles, his website says he will do Howas. https://www.valkyrierifles.net/accessories.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Miller Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Not sure where your located but this UK Gunsmith did mine for me, did a cracking job and didn't charge the earth either. They're based near Cambridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
