Friends- Who besides Jerome Glimm specializes in checkering and engraving bolt handles? I have a couple of Jerome's handles and they are top notch, however, I checked his web-site and see he is no longer doing bolt handles. I was thinking of branching out a bit, anyway. I realize that it is a small niche. Thanks in advance. Mark May the wind be in your face and the sun at your back. P. Mark Stark | ||

I used Baldwin bolt Jeweling and checkering and was extremely satisfied. He checkered as ell as lengthened a Mauser bolt handle for me. http://www.baldwinboltjeweling.com/Home_Page.php | |||

Mark, If you are wanting to make your own bolt handles and do the checkering I have a PDF file on how I make my own. | |||

Les, thank you for your response. Your bolt handles are pieces of art. I am really looking for someone that I would pay to do the work. Thanks, Mark May the wind be in your face and the sun at your back. P. Mark Stark | |||

Mark, Here is a 3 panel knob for a small aciton. Is this more inline with what you are wanting? I wish I could get more people to try engraving simple bolt knobs. It is not that hard to learn. I made this bolt and engraved the panels a couple of months ago to find out if I could see well after eye surgery. | |||

Les That bolt is absolutely stunning. I apologize for the request, but I would really appreciate any instructions you could give about the method of checkering the bolt handle. | |||

Les, if you are willing to share that PDF with me on how you checker bolt knobs I would love to learn! Thanks ahead of time.

The files are both about 10 pages long and if you will send a PM with your email address I can send these out fast on Hotmail.com. You can enlarge the PDF files to see details. You need to understand how to sharpen engravers and I have a file that shows how to make your own tools. A little practise and you can learn how to start with a hammer and graver. | |||

"I made this bolt and engraved the panels a couple of months ago to find out if I could see well after eye surgery." Les How are you doing after your eye surgery? Did everything work out the way you had hoped? | |||

I had cataract surgery one my right eye. I can see well enough to do most things now. At first I thought we might loose the site, but it finally healed up. Two hrs and 5 stitches later to do a cataract does require someone that knows his job. I feel the Dr. knew what we were up against as I have had both retinas split in the past. If you look out at the sky and see a shotgun pattern in the blue sky it is time to see the Dr. quick or you could loose the site. | |||

Les Well, its a great thing that they were able to help you so that you can see, even if not perfectly. By the way, I would bet that you would have a nice little market for those checkered bolt handles you have shown if you decided to sell a few. They really are nice. Especially the one shown in the last photo. | |||
