Making a new bolt handle for the S410
Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:27 pm
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.
