Description

Attention Ruger Customers: As of September of 2019, Ruger has altered the dimensions on some models of Ruger American bolts.   The First version, which we call Model 497, is .497″ wide.  The newer version is smaller and they are not interchangeable.  They are visually different, but you will need to look at the factory bolt handle that came with your rifle to determine which one fits. This listing is for a .487″ wide handle.

Ruger American Tactical bolt Handle in Black Melonite Stainless Steel with a 1.7” black anodized cross hatch knob (Standard 5/16X24 pitch thread).   This bolt handle offers improved ergonomics and allows for faster bolt cycling and positive extraction of shells, even when wearing gloves. Please note that we are no longer including any tools to install the lever. You will need a pair of inexpensive expansion pliers available from online retailers and a flat nail (or similar device) to complete the installation. Read important information here.
