So I just changed out the bolt knob on my royal from the ball to a A419 model. I just wanted something a bit larger than the 3/4" ball that is standard,
The 419 knob is nice but it just looks out of place on this svelte rifle. It's just too big. I'd change it back but I managed to leave a tiny mark on the original with some overzealous plier work, Anyway, I don't see anything from DIP or A419 ( or ebay.) I'm looking for something in between in size. Maybe 3/4x1" or so? Any leads toward something in this range appreciated.
p.s. I'm thinking a 1" ball would work too,

T.....have access to a lathe? McMaster Carr has some phenolic knobs with 6mm brass inserts that can be machined to whatever you want. They actually have a pretty good feel to them. I think I paid about $12 for a bag of 10.
You can polish the phenolic time high gloss if you want. I preferred a little rougher finish.

The OEM Bergara BMR knob?.. Not sure if they’re available…

Thanks, I have a Bergara b14R and that bolt is still a bit large for this purpose. I can find smaller knobs but they are all 5/16 vx M6 thread. ( I guess I could put one on with JB weld) The search continues.

I actually have this near perfect sized knob (1.2" x3/4") that has 5/16" threads , I'm going to try the M6x1 insert route. Thanks for the help.

I ended up buying a 6M female insert and turned it down on my drill press to fit inside this knob. I then used JB weld to seat it. Came out great. I'll get some pics posted when i get around to installing it.

There’s many bolt knobs just like that available in the correct threading.

There are and I think i've seen most of them. ( I have bolt knobs from A419, DIP and Anarchy Outdoors on my other CZ's.) However, many of them are cookie cutter size wise. ( and bigger than wanted for this particular application. I was initially tempted to try the Rowe tactical but if you notice there adds are intentionally vague. Turns out actual pictures of these bolts ( are rare but) show they are hollow tubes and often with poor finish. they are also just as large as their competitors.

Lots of choices

You have to be careful you get your order correct. M6x1 is the start of the search criteria. I just ordered a few GN419-20-M6 tapered knob plastic to test them out. There are other various shapes and sizes and it's easy to get your order wrong on size and thread if you don't pay attention. I Hope I did so.... The ones I bout do not have a meatal insert and are solid industrial plastic, They have knobs and etc with inserts but I do not feel I needed them. Will report later...

I like that! Very unique and undoubtedly custom. That said, I resolved my search by converting the smallish 3/4x1 1/4" Remington pattern bolt knob I listed above . Basically, I drilled it out a bit and epoxied in a M6x1 metric insert with some JB weld to assure it never came apart. I have to say, it came out good and fits just right . The resulting knob is about the same diameter as the ball but protrudes out a bit more. No more fumbling for that tiny knob yet it's not to big for this sporter rifle. Pretty happy with it.

The knobs I ordered from JW WInco came in today. Personally I find the size and appearance of the finish attractive and will probably use them on a couple of my rifles. Definitely a help with leverage and the little extra length will make it easier to grasp. Less than 3 bucks each delivered.
