Vince,
The non-knurled section of the knob also has to be thicker. While the MR one is the closeset, it's still not right.

On the bobadebt kits (I just measured mine) there was a supplied aluminum washer/slug that is 1/4" thick.

I don't see why not because the knurling tool I have can be adjusted to swivel at an angle, but I'll definitely machine a prototype first. This knob looks a lot like a radio knob. They can't be that difficult to machine.
I've had a hard time finding CNC lathes, but the real problem is the number. Most of the machinests I've been in touch with want do make at least 100 units. I'm counting about 10 units so far. On top of that, by the time I gather the funds, make the purchase and wait on the machinest, several months have gone by. I can pump these out over a weekend.

The spacer between the mount and the Mauser? I usually just purchase those from Lowes. They're only .10 cents.
Well, I can always drop one in your Bespin jacket pocket once it gets shipped.

I've used a 1/4" threading for many years. I think that started way back with the Hero blaster. We had theorized that a Hero knob was used on the ESB blaster, so the same size threading was used. If it helps, I can included some 1/4" threaded rod for a $1 more.
As for drilling/tapping the part, it's a very difficult process. You'll need a clamp and a drill press or hand drill. While the part is in the clamp, a tap can be used to create the threading. It's such a difficult process, I usually do the drilling and tapping on the lathe. It's the only way to keep round parts in place and to assure a centered/straight tap.
I can also drill/tap other sizes if requested. Just include that on your paypal "note".

I'm going to double check MR's measurements against pics of the real prop.
I want to make sure it's 100% correct.
