I don't know how you would go about doing it, but maybe some knurling or rings.

What tooling. Lathe? Interesting approach. It looks like you turned the original handle down? That must have been fun to indicate...
Did my own handle on a lathe and mill as well. Its at the gunsmith getting cerakoted right now:

hmmm, that handle shape and installation style look awfully familiar......;)

Glad to see another do-it-yourself'er making handles. Grooves and knurling can help, but I like mine smooth. With added length I find the grooves and knurling unnecessary for target or hunting with or without gloves, but they do add a certain look too.

Found some 3/8 drill rod and a little piece of aluminum round stock. Slung some shavings and this was the product.

Very nice. I did one like that about a year ago and had 4 small grooves on it. It felt very nice and had good grip without "chewing" up your fingers. You'll love it, good work.

HAHAHA.. I love that bolt handle you have on yours too scope...

Just one more thing to customize.. I'm down to an untouched bolt. I've got some polishing to do on a couple surfaces and some spring play in there... everything else but the action has been tweaked, changed out, modified, or adjusted on my rifle. Some day I hope to actually get to fire it :D

Stang, I have a question for you.. who did the jeweling on your bolt body?
