Here's a potato quality photo of the finished knob. It's a simple and clean design made from aluminium. It's retained with a bolt. Very light, very simple, works great. We do plan on making different knobs for this.Originally Posted by tinman304

Amazing! Thanks for the quick reply!Here's a potato quality photo of the finished knob. It's a simple and clean design made from aluminium. It's retained with a bolt. Very light, very simple, works great. We do plan on making different knobs for this.
We are also going to have spare knobs available for those who want one on both sides.

Will the bolt carrier be held forward by something other than the gas rings on the bolt? I am wondering what happens if one were to aim this upwards with worn gas rings.
You know, in case I have to take on a flock of Corona bats or knock a samsquatch out of a tree or something.
I understand the cycle of operations of an AR. I
We originally designed a detent to hold it closed, however we immediately found the magazine spring works perfectly. Adds just the right amount of friction to keep everything closed and runs really smooth. Works are all angles. I put a sling on our test gun and ran up and down the stairs, carried it in all possible ways, and banged it on stuff. Works great. We're keeping things as simple as possible.
Is there a recommended manual of arms for this? Like for hunting vs bench shooting? Does to make more sense to keep your hand on the pistol grip and use your support hand to manipulate the bolt? Or just like a regular bolt action, use your pistol grip hand to manipulate the bolt?
Insert clever signature here...
Completely up to you. From a bench or prone I prefer the bolt knob on the left side, as a right hand shooter. For walking though the bush or shooting unsupported I prefer it on the right.
I guess your design makes it easy to swap for whatever purpose so that's cool. Smart.

Nice work Spectre! I still think it looks way cool in plain aluminum. Has anyone tried to use Cerakote Clear on a firearm yet?Just an update for everyone... Uppers are coming along really well. The first finished upper from batch 1 came off the CNC on Friday. Bolt knobs are finished as well.
