Balanced Medium Bolt Knob for Versatile Rifle Operation

The medium bolt knob offers the ideal compromise for most shooters, providing significantly improved grip and leverage over factory knobs while maintaining a streamlined profile. The 0.75 in. (19.1 mm) diameter gives you much better control than small knobs, especially in adverse conditions or when wearing gloves, without the added bulk of large knobs. This size is particularly popular with precision shooters who want enhanced performance without affecting their rifle's balance or handling characteristics. It provides enough surface area for confident operation while remaining unobtrusive during carry and storage.

The medium bolt knob excels across multiple shooting applications due to its versatile sizing. For precision rifle shooting, it provides the control needed for smooth, consistent cycling without disrupting shooting position. Hunters appreciate the enhanced grip for quick follow-up shots while maintaining a low profile that won't snag on vegetation or gear. Target shooters find the size comfortable for extended range sessions, and tactical shooters value the reliable operation under stress. The balanced design works equally well for prone, sitting, or standing shooting positions without interfering with natural rifle handling.

The knurled texture on the medium bolt knob is precisely machined to provide optimal grip security across all conditions. The diamond pattern creates multiple contact points that maintain grip even when wet, oily, or dusty. Unlike smooth surfaces that become slippery, or overly aggressive textures that can be uncomfortable during extended use, this knurling provides the perfect balance. The texture depth is optimized for the medium size, ensuring effective grip with both bare hands and various types of shooting gloves. The pattern also helps channel away moisture and debris, maintaining consistent performance in field conditions.

Nylon 12 offers several advantages over traditional metal knobs for most applications. It's significantly lighter, reducing overall rifle weight and maintaining optimal balance. The material is naturally quieter than metal, which can be crucial for hunting where noise discipline matters. Nylon 12 also resists corrosion and chemical damage, requires minimal maintenance, and won't conduct cold like metal knobs can in winter conditions. While metal knobs might have a more premium feel, Nylon 12 provides superior practical performance with better grip texture options, resistance to impact damage, and consistent operation across temperature extremes. The material has proven itself in industrial applications requiring durability and reliability.

Installation is completely straightforward and requires no special tools or expertise. Simply remove your factory bolt knob by turning it counterclockwise, then thread on the new medium knob clockwise until snug. A standard hex key allows you to achieve proper tightness without over-torquing the threads. The entire process takes less than two minutes and requires no permanent modifications to your rifle. The precision threading ensures a secure fit that won't loosen during use, and you can easily remove or replace the knob if needed. This simple upgrade maintains your rifle's warranty and can be reversed at any time.
