What is your favorite aftermarket bolt handle?

I have a new FCP-SR. The bolt handle gets very close to the scope. What are your favorite aftermarket bolt handles?

Stockade stocks 5/8 dia. I just checked out the Glades armory, I think I like that one better now.

I have some of the Glades armory ones and have been very pleased with them.

what is the purpose of an aftermarket bolt handle ?? Not being sarcastic here, I`ve never seen one

**missed** · 09-25-2013, 10:07 PM

Different shape, more leverage. I really like my glades ones.

I see your ashamed of your other handle. I made it too small?

There are a lot of bolt handles that really look sharp and work well but when you are just looking for practicality and function the old BT that comes on some factory Savage rifles and bolt shotguns works very, very well. And they don't cost near as much

Actually, it's the coolest, bestest bolt handle I've ever had. The size is perfect. The handle it close to the rifle body & doesn't stick straight out like the factory junk, the action on it is perfect. I get a lot of questions about it. If you don't mind a few million emails and PM's, I'll show the world your handi-work.
Just trying to keep your 6 covered, my bolt handle building buddy.

Whatever!

So far, The Southern Ordnance one works well from Ebay.

It required some relieving to get it to fit properly.

It's not bent like it looks in the Photo above.

This is what I went with going to try to get it installed this weekend maybe if it gets here soon enough. Also have a tap and die set on order.

Pics?

I really love the SSS handle, but since they're unavailable and I have a weakness for machined parts, I'll probably pick one up from Glades in the next little bit. Just wish it had a round top to match the receiver.

**SlimySquirrel** · 10-16-2013, 03:55 AM

Yeah.. I thought the same. I'd say a machinist would be able to help you pretty easy though?

din · 10-16-2013, 06:01 AM

Indeed, but once I actually have parts on a gun I hate farting around with it too much, and it is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. I e-mailed Glades about the possibility of making a round-top handle, and they said that the additional machining cost would be cost prohibitive for most consumers.
