Thread to what?
Bolt handle threaded for tactical knob.
Buy a tap and die or just solder it on. Heck Remington used to silver solder the whole handle on the bolt.
This is incredibly easy to do yourself! Grind down about 3/4 of the end in circular motion, until its approx 5/16 diameter. (Just shy makes it easier). You can pick up a 5/16-24 die for $5-$10 from Amazon. Clamp the handle upright in a vice(or whatever you got), and thread the portion you ground down using some type of lubricant. Tap Magic works well, but oil..even WD-40 will work.
Maybe buy a cheap used Mod70 bolt handle and do a test run on it before trying this out on your stock one?
