I decicded the other week to have my bolt cut in a 6 twist barley pattern so off I went to John Carr Rifles in Doncaster. It make no difference to the performance but god it looks good.

When I picked it up we where talking about tactical bolt handles as I had been looking for one and had only been able to find them for the Tikka T3's.

He said if I left my bolt with him he would take some measurements down and have a go at making a batch of them as they don't seem readily available for the Tikka M595/M695.

Well he dropped it off for me this morning and I am very happy with the results.

Here are a few pictures of the finished bolt.

I think he was making a batch of about 15 to see how they went. When I dropped the bolt off I was watching the cnc machine making some T3 bolts and was just amazed at how quick it turned a piece of stainless bar into a bolt handle.

I need one of them there cnc machines, then the sky is the limit. (And maybe someone to program it)
