Does anyone have a recommendation of a gunsmith to install a bolt knob for me on a Remington short action. I just can't find a gunsmith here in the swamp! Thanks, Baker

If you have a bench grinder and tap/die set it's not that hard to do. I've done both my 700's, took me about an hour each. I'll see if I can find the pics....

No doubt about the AR crap, just damn shame hunters don't have self control and knowledge

Send your bolt to Kampfeld Custom. You won't regret it.

Looks good but I don't have that equipment! Spend the money on that equipment instead of paying someone to do it. I did the same thing on my one Rem 700 action.

Found a place, Thanks for all the help! Sending it out this morning
A guy that works with Kampfeld. Eddie Fosnaugh. Karl actually fluted the bolt for me and I shoud have added the knob then.

And whats funny is....I actually own a KRG Whiskey 3 chassis and still wont put their "bolt knob" on my rifle!! I'm probably going to go with LRI and the snipers hide group buy. $45 to have bolt knob installed.
