i had this idea in the back of my head for a couple years now. i was over complicating the fixture and could never make up my mind on a design. i finally came up with a simple fixture that is very repeatable. i could probably save about 3 minutes off of the thread milling portion by switching from a single profile to a full profile thread mill. if i end up doing a bunch of bolt handles, i may consider investing one. as it is now, it takes less than 15 minutes to complete including time to mount the bolt in the fixture, machine time, removing the bolt and blowing it off.
i know there has been some debate lately about the use of cnc in gunsmithing shops. this is just one thing that can be done easier and faster with cnc than manually in a lathe.
