TonyRumore 1,329 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I thought this up several years ago, but finally made one up. I'll get a run of them made in the next 30 days or so. It might sell...it might flop, I'm not really sure, but guys do like "bolt-on" parts. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrnuke7571 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I want to weld an AK gaspiston on the bolt like that! Actually looks nice. I might get one if the price is right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulry 50 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Tony, Do you attend the Knob Creek MG shoot? If so do you go spring or fall and do you have a table? You have the best looking stuff, that's for sure. Frosty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,329 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have only been one time, back in 2000 and I did not have a table at the time. In my past experience, gun shows do ME no good. I can make more money staying home and answering the phone. I set up four times at the Wanamacher show in Tulsa ($160 for two tables) and sold exactly ZER0 four times straight. At the time I had complete Tromix AR's and uppers in 17 Remington, 20 Tactical, .223, 50AE, .458 Socom, 44 Rem Mag, and 440 Corbon....on the table, cash and carry....no takers, four times.

blurted 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'll get a couple of those. Are they going to be black or in the white? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,329 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 They will be black. I just made that one from a piece of drop-off from an old stainless barrel blank. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogMan 2,343 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Oh, yeah. I like to charge my S12s with my left hand. Easy enough to do on my Tromix but not so much on the others with a standard handle. Looks like I could just rotate the gun a little and grab this thing real easy. I like it.

Racer 27 37 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Tony how about a bolt on galil (did I spell that right) charging handle. ETA: even if you had to drill a divot or small hole into the handle to hold it on. Edited February 18, 2009 by Racer 27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I like it. I want one. When can I send in the money? I'm wondering though, do you think they'll stay on OK with the handle flying back and forth? I'd almost want to weld mine on. I had thought about an hourglass shaped piece similar to this, but couldn't figure out how to attach it. Corbin Edited February 18, 2009 by Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
surfmaster 5 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It looks good but will the set screw be solid enough to hold the bolt-on extension to the charging handle since it will be moving at a high velocity during firing? Do you need to supplement the set screw with an adhesive? How much will each cost? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scarbrough68289 76 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Cool. I had just talked to a machinist friend of mine about making something similar to this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Do want. Don't need, but do really want. Is there a projected price for these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Tony how about a bolt on galil (did I spell that right) charging handle. ETA: even if you had to drill a divot or small hole into the handle to hold it on. That's actually something I've been talking to another member here about doing, only drilling and bolting all the way through the charging handle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,329 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't think it will have a problem staying put as long as the set screw is installed with loctite. Without thread locker, I doubt it would stay on for very long. That set screw is pretty damn big. It's 5/16-24 and will be sitting in the "saddle" of the charging handle, so if it started to loosen, you would notice it before the thing went South on you. Regardless, I will test the prototype and make sure it works before selling any. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,184 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 If the price is right... I could be in for 5 to 12 of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avnate 335 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It looks good but will the set screw be solid enough to hold the bolt-on extension to the charging handle since it will be moving at a high velocity during firing? Do you need to supplement the set screw with an adhesive? How much will each cost? Thanks. I guess you could always drill a hair into the bolt like the Dinzag hand-guard retainer and still use loc-tite to set the screw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't need it... but I'll probably end up buying one anyway. (Total valley bitch right here!) Damn you, Tony! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

headshot 52 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd buy one if it was less than 20 bucks. I like barrel-type handles. They don't punish you for slapping them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsen 86 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) That type of stuff sells for 10/22's. Who knows if it will for AKs? chalk me up as a "valley biotch"...this is exactly what I have been looking for..... As soon as I find out where Surly got this sweater, then I can go to the range in style... When I was 20, I laughed when I saw a guy wearing a sweater over his shoulders. I thought it was really funny, because the fake rich people from 80's movies did it. Then I found out it was actual style, that people actually did that. They were not amused. When it is 90 degrees out, go to a boat person hangout, half of them are dressed just like this. And they have that fake pompous rich person accent too, it isn't just something out of movies! It was like seeing a dragon in real life and not knowing what to do: run, or walk over and see if it is real. Edited February 19, 2009 by Twinsen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack_21 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I gotta have one, just because nobody else in this neck of the woods has one. You probably get this all the time, but when is this coming out for the rifles? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
