impala59 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 After losing my 1187 charging handle in mud a few weeks back, I got round to making a competition replacement. I started with a block of scrap aluminium and a half inch belt sander. It came out ok and I added a bit of lightness by drilling a hole a' la Colin Chapman. This part does not exist (for a left hander) and was made by eye and fit. Hopefully being aluminium it will reduce the mass a small amount too. Works fine manually cycling the action, will have to wait until we can get out again for field test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
