Usually when I hear the word "Cheap" I think of Harbor Freight. But I doubt they have those. Big Grin Look at a machine tool supply store. That looks like the type of knob that Lathe control levers use. Or, go to Toys R Us and buy some toy balls and drill and thread them. You said cheap!

You might try McMaster-Carr. They have all sorts of odd ball stuff that can come in handy.

I could be wrong, but I suspect the guys who make them for firearms get them from the guys who make them for everyone.

Nothing says "class" quite like these custom bolt handles!

Cheers!

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

It appears that scope clearance issues are not a factor. You could go to an automotive supply story and ask for a "Hurst shifter knob". It would be an instant classic.
