Pole: Bolt knob style

Post by Aholz »

Guys, I've just received a bunch of stainless steel bolt knobs for R93 from my engraver. I have to choose finish now.What kind of finish would you prefer, assuming that they are very reasonable priced. Some samples are here:

Or you might prefer other type?

Thanks for your input in advance!

Well, I have said on here before that I am not very imaginative, and though I love looking at pretty bolt knobs and other accessories, they don't really have a place in my "hunting" world. I voted plastic. :oops:

Ok, I am fond of stag grips on handguns. A stag bolt knob might be pretty cool. 8-)

I really like my tactical bolt knob, it works great when shooting fast, but it would be sooo nice in some nice wood with rhinstone in it :dance: :dance:

My bolt knob of ebony with a tiger eye mounted on it looks very nice to me and to friends who see it on my rifle.

It gives the R 93 Professional a distinctive touch without changing its practical utility.
