Does anyone know where i can get the bolt handle of my CZ 452 fitted with a tatical style bolt knob

Dont know anyone who can do it for you, but I got a couple from a member here and fitted one to my Zastava 223, the other is going on another rifle. I just cut most of the knob off with an angle grinder using a fine blade, then ground it round on a belt sander, tapped the appropriate thread onto the end of the shaft and screwed it on. ill put a photo up of the before and after later on when I find them. I ended up with a longer shaft on the bolt handle and the new knob added a few mm as well, the bolt handle on the Zastavas is a little short. I imagine that the knob on a CZ would be just as easy to do.

I bet you that you were a little uneasy taking a grinder to the bolt handle mate haha. I would have been!

Nah I just jumped in Keith, but I will confess there were a couple of anxious moments that I started the grinder and then turned it off again. Once the first cut was made, I had no choice but to continue on.

The photos promised

Yes.

I know a bloke who has done several, he uses a brand new CZ bolt for the base of the job. It is quite a slick product when complete. Trouble is, I don't know if he is doing any more.

PM me.

Nice job there Camel, has got me thinking now. . . . ..

That looks like a dogs breakfast why would anyone want to do that to their bolt. It might be the best you can do, maybe you should do something else.

Strong words eh

Yeah, thought it was a bit rough, the comment that is. Its not my cup of tea, but then each to their own.

CZ bolts can be a c*ck regarding scope reticle clearance. I used a scope with a minimal size reticle housing and still needed to use high mounts on my CZ452 with the stock bolt. 17hmr went the other way with a modified bolt handle. As a means to an end it does the job effectively.

I made this bolt knob for my target rifle in the pic below. However it serves no real purpose at all....

whoa, hated my bolt so much he had to post it twice! cheers for that mate. each to their own. works for me.
