dnp 1 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Anyone ever install a ball end charging lever? Where'd you get it? How'd it work out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have a ball end charging lever on mine. I was looking for a more authentic Galil look than the knurled ones. I made it myself. I like it rather well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 All the Galil's I've ever seen have had the knurled cone shaped knob?? Is the ball your talking about like something on the Micro's or FAL? I've been interested in doing something like that as it seems a bit larger to grab than the AK, and most of the add on "Galil Style" handles look kind of add on as compared to the real Galil bolt carrier unit. Functionally I'm sure they're pretty much the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of just a ball on the end like you see on bolt action rifles. maybe obtain a ball about 1/2 in or less mill down maybe the last 1/4 in. of the existing lever to a rectangular tab milling a matching hole in the ball with an interference fit slot, pressing/brazing the ball onto the tab. I think just lopping off the existing lever and welding a different piece of lever onto the stub isn't the way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
