Thanks Danny for the Complement. This is the knob I do and I feel they are the perfect size.

Take a look at these. It's what I use and my original bolt handle is intact in case I ever need to go back to it.

If you will do a bolt knob, make sure you do the knob on YOUR handle! Using another knob can change your headspace either negatively or positively. The glades handles will effect your headspace so you should measure after installing. Some of these handles will not work properly depending on the action. When you lift the handle they will stick and youll have to jiggle it to get it free. They aren’t the greatest fit so don’t waste your money using one. They have gotten plenty of feedback about it but still the same issues . The solid factory handles are the easiest to do but the ones with the hole in the end are more difficult. Still can be done with no problem though .

My buddy and I recently installed two of them on our CZ455 rifles and neither of us has had any issue with them. Maybe we just got lucky?

I’ve put them on without issue before but ran into many as well. The headspace thing wasn’t an issue for me as I was putting match Barrels on them anyway. I’ve had many of these handles not fit correctly and that’s when I stopped using them. The $60 they charge is cheap compared and worth the money to save the headache on doing a knob on the factory piece. You could always buy it and try it and if it works great and if not return it. I ain’t got time for that lol.

You are correct! I always put the handle that came off a bolt back on the same bolt to ensure the head space does not change. I have seen and heard about the issues with the glades handles and i would not use one unless they address the inconsistency's they have. I would rather spend a couple hours or so it takes to do these and have things Right! its not fun buy the time you thread the handle, make the knob, sandblast, cerakote and the electricity it takes for the oven your not making much...
