well boys and girls,i ordered the new axis bolt handle the other day as soon as it became available.waiting on delivery and will review asap.
was told it was a new design machined specifically for the axis platform.i was going to make my own but replacement handles here are hard to get and the cost would be about the same so i figured i would try out the new design.
here is a copy of the info:
Bolt handle
CNC machined Tactical Bolt Handle for the Savage Axis. This part has been designed, developed and tested on the Savage Axis platform and is indexed to provide scope clearance while maximizing leverage and ergonomics for fast bolt cycling. CNC machined from a solid piece of carbon steel and threaded in industry standard 5/16X24. This part incorporates our new Ferritic Nitrocarburized finish (Melonite). This process, in adition to blackening the part, creates a very hard surface layer that should prove to be very durable and corrosion resistant. The surface hardness of the part falls between 600 to 820 on the Vickers Scale (HV), which is about 55 to 62 on the Rockwell C scale. Below the surface layer, the process also imparts a hardness of about 45 HRC.
We are including a black anodized aluminum cross hatch knob.
