[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2844299, member: 35089"] Finally got all the parts gathered up to put together my 700. First thing im doing is installing the badger ordinance bolt knob. Bought the knob used from a fellow OSA member that had kryloned it FDE. I was a little intimidated by this project but went forward with it anyway and pleased with the outcome. What you need: 1) bench vise (to hold the bolt in place when grinding/filing) 2) Cut off wheel and or angle grinder 3) Files from small - large 4) Sandpaper 220 grit or similar to help smooth out file marks 5) Tape - to wrap up your bolt and prevent any slips with the grinder from ruining your day 6) Black paint for touch up - I used duplicolor low gloss black, the same thing I use for saiga conversions. 7) 5/16x24 die and handle + cutting oil 8) Thread locker of some kind to secure the knob to the bolt.
