I have no affiliation with Tromix, so I don't speak for Tony or Bob. I have, however handled lots of these bolt-ons by now. Very thoughtfully designed an executed product. I think that the very nicely chamfered and contoured recess for the setscrew, plus the head of the screw sitting just below the surface looks great and adds just a little bit of extra grip. It would be difficult to do a nice, neat, job of welding on a handle. The hole is necessarily fairly large to clear the biggest parts of the original handle as it is being installed, so lots of filler would be needed to fill the

Hey DogMan! "Glue on only" is for something to put on your sister's dress! Not something that goes on a man's weapon. "Bolt on" is for a man's weapon! Seriously, the setscrew is still necessary to bring the bolt- on handle into rigid alignment before the epoxy sets. And still adds great strength to the lock up. Having been a machinist and gunsmith for well over 20 years, I have mucho experience with these kinds of applications. I'm also a enthusiastic fan of Tromix products. Well Harry, I guess I could take your comment either way but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and

Bob, You're right. It is impossible for it to come off if properly installed and Loctited with RED Loctite. It also needs to be "wiggled on" as the setscrew is being tightened, moving it back and forth (not in and out) as the setscrew is slowly tightened. This is to make sure it is sitting in the absolute low spot in the crook of the handle. If all these things are done, it is against the law of physics for it to come off. This tip is for those guys who have read about someone else's problem, and decide that maybe the handle isn't as advertised, and will give problems, or others wh

Hey guys, I'm new to "forums" and "threads". Not very good at navigating around. I picked up on a thread the other day about Tromix bolt on charging handles flying off during operation. Theoretically, it should not be possible for it to happen due to the design, but it seems it MAY happen on rare occasion. For those of you who want to make absolutely sure that this doesn't happen, and are pretty sure you won't be taking it off anytime soon, here is an idea to totally eliminate the possiblilty. First of all, use a good cleaner to remove any trace of oil from inside the Tromix part,
