Title: Predator custom replacement bolts
Post by: Neukdae on June 18, 2019, 06:44:09 PM: Anyone ever heard of replacement takedown bolts for predators risers? The only way you can take a stock predator bow down is by using an allen wrench, im hoping i can find some replacement bolts that can be taken down by hand, either with antler overlays or something similar.

I have some antler burr bolts for my Widows, I’ll check to see if they work on my Predator. I’m almost certain they will.

Standard Black Widow brass knurled takedown bolts would also work, they’re tapered to fit in the bezel.

Post by: Yellow Dog on June 18, 2019, 11:57:40 PM: That would work.....you can buy these knurled knobs from Bingham. You’d have to epoxy some type of spacer/washer between the allen head and the knob, since the Allen head is not flush with the bezel. It’s slightly recessed. Bingham knobs.

Let me know if you go that route and for shipping they're yours... :)

Might be the solution to my problem.

Post by: MCNSC on June 19, 2019, 08:45:25 PM: Almost positive that the brass limb bolts that BW sells have the taper under the head. They have a knurled outer edge and a hole thru them.

Post by: KentuckyWolf on June 19, 2019, 08:56:18 PM: The brass thump bolts from BW are tapered on the underside and have an Allen wrench hole for when you need leverage.
