CZ550 American Magnum bolt knob Q's

Hi Kimberwarrior45,

I had a similar issue with my bolt, but in addition, the sharp edge of the hole drilled into the bolt was uncomfortable on my hand. I wanted the hole filled in and the bolt straighten up. In the end I did not get exactly what I was planning for, but the result is very comfortable. The elongated ball extended enough the total length of the bolt that it became very quick to grab without being bulky.

This is what I had originally in mind, but by gunsmith decided to save me some $ in the process and did not straighten up the bolt.

Planning out my own cz550... what gunsmith did that handle? It looks perfect!
 
It was done in ON, Canada. Based on your location it won't help you much.

That would certainly be a bit cost prohibitive! If you give me their name, I can reach out and see if they would be willing to advise a stateside gunsmith regarding how to get a similar look. Maybe they have stock of a weld-on bolt I could purchase.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
