Can someone help me identify which product number the bottom bolt in this link is?

spoon handle

Brownells won't have an answer for me until tomorrow and I'm the impatient sort. Roll Eyes

Any feedback on any of those handles would be appreciated. I like the one I've seen on the Brno sporters and that bottom handle looks most similar to me.

Thanks.

Well looking at page 19 didn't help it isn't there. But reading it "Triangular shaped #1207 is similar to original BRNO's but a bit fatter and more rounded"


As usual just my $.02

On page 19 of catalog #57. The pics there look nothing like on the website though at least not of that handle.

I thought it was #1207 too.

Looking at my #56 brownells catalog the bottom style is butterball.

They are each identified in the 56 catalog page 14. also it says "Meier Butter knife bolt handles"

I knew I should have stuck to a Talley, lol.

Anyone know where I can get one with a black knob and an 8 in a white circle?

I've got to go along with the #1207. The Butterball looks like the top one by the description and the #1121 is slightly swept up on the end like the Oberndorf and Mannlicher styles...

The top one is the 1121. It is shaped the same as an original M-S, but is smaller than the post war models.

The middle is the 1207, and is similar to the ones found on the Brno 21 and 22, but not as nice.

The bottom one is the Butterball. Best one of the lot. Sharp edges up top like a Brno, but the under side and bottom are rounded like an Oberndorf. I can probably post pics if you need some.

Mike,

It’s on page 19 of catalog #58. the product number is 573-112-100.

If you want one email or call me and I’ll order it for you tonight as I am putting together a Brownells order right now.

Thanks Kurt and also Rick.

One last question regarding that butterball, any idea what it measures width wise at the root? It looks like it may be to narrow to mate to a mauser bolt? Could just be the pic but it would be nice to know.

Diameter is .377" at the narrowest portion of the taper.

Thanks again Kurt. Wow, that kinda worries me. The bolt root measures about .435 wide.

This is the handle that appeals most to me. Presumabley the bulk of these sold are used on mausers so it must be wide enough at the desired length.
