It really not hard to make...

Actually this one is my Ver.2 of my bolt handle!
It is actually a 3 piece design.
It made up of the Teardrop handle Threaded stem and a rotating sleeve.
This gives it a silky smooth lock-up...
Even with a tight lock-up setting!!

Now that idea i like Stuart.
So it rotates when you pull back and push forward.
I need to pay our friend kevG a visit.

That's a great idea with the 3 part bolt handle Stuart 👌 it would make the cocking action very slick! 👍

Well from a mechanical viewpoint.....
It is all about spreading out the "point" force that is
focused between the Bolt Handle and the Gate Plate....
Then allowing the parts under force to rotate!

So to help smooth things out...
I polished the sleeve and inner stem.
Also little teflon grease on that inner stem
as I assembled my Bolt Handle..
