Gotta love the $10 bolt knob and $20 shipping haha. Your post a few weeks back led me down the rabbit hole of searching for bolt knobs for the howa mini. The hollowed out knob definitely seems to make it difficult to find an option for a threaded knob.

The Polished Knob mentioned he welds/fills in the hollowed portion, then can grind it down and thread as normal. I may end up going this route, although that would make it more than the $30 for the legacy knob.

At the very least, glad to hear the legacy knob works well!

I will never understand the need for those

The Howa Mini has a very small bolt knob that requires an awkward grip to cycle the action. The oversized bolt knob makes it easier to grip and cycling the bolt smoother and faster.

@General RE LEE I’ve been considering buying a Mini barreled action to “build” my new Predator gun…. But I always come back to the bolt angle as a deterrent. I worry about clearance between my thermal and thick gloves… do you think this knob would solve that? Any chance you can take a video from behind the gun showing how much farther the knob sticks out
