Absolutely perfect product to update your Howa rifle to have to bolt knob it should have had from the factory. The factory knob is much to small. Additionally it is not threaded on so it cannot be changed with out having a gunsmith remove the knob and thread the bolt lever. I have a local gunsmith who could do the work for only slightly more $ that this kit, however I did not want to modify the factory lever, so this was the perfect solution. I must say that the quality is great. Constructed of a much more solid metal that I was expecting. There are some minor blemish marks on the back side of the knob between the 2 screw points, but you will never see that area so not a big deal. Over all the color, fit and finish are great. I did have to use both spacers to get a tight enough grip that it did not rattle or spin. But I am very happy with the product and I would recommend it to anyone.
Advantages: Easier to find and manipulate the bolt while maintaining eye contact on target.
Disadvantages: It is a large bolt knob which it great however it is just a touch long so you do have to learn how to remove your finger from the trigger guard and move to manipulating the bolt in a different manor that you could previously. Again I do not really see that as a huge problem, but may be problematic to some.

Bought a bolt on knob for the Howa 1500 and it exceeded my expectation for fit and finish. Totally worth it in my opinion.
Advantages: Easy, and quick, and no gunsmithing needed
Disadvantages: None that I can see

Nice looking bolt knob.
Advantages: Easy to put on. Makes bolt operation easier.
Disadvantages: Fit was a little loose on my Howa 1500 mini 7.62x39. The O rings supplied makes it OK, but I'm thinking of doing an epoxy bedding of it so it will be solid.
