Just curious. How will the knob be attached to the bolt and will it have to be bent to its final contour? Will welding and heating be required?

1/4 inch thick lead plates in the vise jaws.

the gunsmith will do the welding and bending, with a heat sink on the ball end

Thanks Dave,

I did one some time back and the layout was probably the most challenging part.
