That said I ordered a Glades slightly bent handle and , yes the knob is overly long to my thinking. However; the binding when you close the bolt is all but eliminated? My intentions is to make a new knob about 1/2 the length of the Glades, because the extended handle gives a lot more scope clearance and I do not scrape my thumb knuckle now!
Swopping out the two handles is a breeze. Took longer to walk from the bedroom to the kitchen table than to make the swop!
I would be willing to trade you my bolt handle for your bolt handle. I want the longer knob of the aftermarket handle.
Dont want to buy the whole handle so that's why I haven't ordered one from glades and I cant find anyone who cuts aftermarket knobs for the M6x1 threads the cz bolt handle uses and it's too close to deer season for me to want to waist daylight in my shop turning one.
