possibly if you posted a photo of the Burgess design someone here would know who does it.

Just for shits and giggles, it would seem no one does a better job of it than Burgess!!!!why don't you just ask him to do it if money is not an issue.....he posts here as system98

Can't go wrong with z1r. He does a phenominal job on bolt handles. I don't know how his bolt jewelling is, but if it's like everything else he does, and I'm pretty sure it is, then it too is flawless! He posts here under z1r. Smiler

Here's an upgrade to a Kimber I did earlier this year.

There's a lot of great talent posting around here. Lots of good smiths to pick from.

You seem to have done a good job of copying Tom Burgess'QD rings,
why cant you copy his bolt handle? Roll Eyes

When I clicked on this thread I thought I would be reading something about remington bolt handles falling off or which is better welded on or brazed on or some such. But sorry I can't be of any help. nilly

22WRF,
I think its good that they make a very similar scope ring to Mr.TB, cause its not often that Tom makes his.
If Katies is capable of doing the ring, then I should think they can do a very similar handle. BUt to behonest, I dont know their situation.

Anycase, read here and decide for yourself about the rings...

We made what we thought would be desirable changes, and I sure hope your're not planning on getting any from Tom. I think you must be a slow on the up take. Tom past away and gave us his blessing to do rings well before. He told us he would never be making anymore. I got the last set of 7/8" he ever built and that was years ago.

Good luck with getting ahold of Tom to order some rings.
