Making a new bolt handle for the S410

[kevingambrell]

From the day I picked up the S410 I have been saying I would make a new bolt handle. Im not a great lover of Aluminum on rifles, I know the bulk of the action is aloy on the S410
but atleast its anoidised black. I also wanted a slightly longer bolt handle with a knob that was easier for me to grip. So here we go.

Started with a scrap of mild steel.

Turned the basic shape of the knob.

At this point I lost half the pictures from my camera.

Put a bit of bend on the lever and then re-polished.

great job, it`s immensely satisfying when you add your own touch to a gun, not many of us can match Geo, but we do our own thing!
