Description
The small factory knob on a Christensen Arms rifle works, but plenty of folks running a 30mm scope or wearing gloves find it a little tight to grab. This Tactical Bolt Knob fixes that. It is the same oversized knob that ships standard on the MPR, TFM, BA Tactical, and ELR rifles, giving you a bigger, more textured surface so your hand finds the bolt fast and cycles it clean, round after round.
What Sets the Tactical Bolt Knob Apart
It is machined from aluminum and wears a black hardcoat anodized finish with a laser etched white CA logo, so it matches the rest of the rifle and holds up to real field use. The larger diameter and knurled body add leverage, which is a genuine help on a stiff bolt lift or when you are working the action quickly off a bag. You get all of that without hanging a heavy chunk of steel off the end of your bolt, keeping the balance of a lightweight Christensen Arms rig intact.
Fit and Installation Notes for the CA Bolt Knob
The knob uses a 5/16×24 thread, which is the standard Christensen Arms pattern and also fits any action cut for that same thread. It threads directly onto your existing bolt handle once the old knob is off. Christensen typically installs the factory knob with red thread locker, so removing the small one usually takes a little heat from a heat gun along with a padded pair of pliers or a strap wrench to protect the finish. Once it is off, a drop of blue thread locker on the new knob is a smart move before you snug it down.
Owners of Ridgeline, Mesa, and Ranger rifles are the most common buyers here, since those platforms shipped with the smaller standard knob. It is a simple, clean swap that makes an everyday difference in how the rifle handles at the range or in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Tactical Bolt Knob fit my Ridgeline or Mesa?
Yes. This knob uses the 5/16×24 thread that is standard across Christensen Arms actions, so it fits Ridgeline, Mesa, and Ranger rifles that came with the smaller factory knob. It is one of the most popular upgrades for those platforms since it gives you a larger, easier grab.
How do I remove the old bolt knob to install this one?
Christensen typically installs the factory knob with red thread locker, so you will usually need some heat to break it loose. A heat gun along with a padded pair of pliers or a strap wrench does the job while protecting the finish. Once the old knob is off, put a drop of blue thread locker on the threads before installing the new one.
Is the Tactical Bolt Knob much heavier than the standard knob?
No. It is machined from aluminum, so you get the larger, more positive surface of an oversized knob with only a minimal weight increase. That keeps the balance of a lightweight Christensen Arms rifle right where you want it.
What is this knob made of and how is it finished?
It is machined from aluminum and finished in black hardcoat anodizing for durability. It also carries a laser etched white CA logo, so it looks right at home on the rest of your Christensen Arms rifle.
