22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 You probably get this all the time, but when is this coming out for the rifles? I don't see why it wouldn't fit a rifle. The actual protruding charging handle looks exactly the same on my S12 as it does my x39's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I tried it on several diferent AK rifles, and it works on all of them. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delta 5.56 0 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 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. +1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gpqueen 545 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 We will have them as soon as they are ready. I believe Tony said they would retail $18. I will put a notice on our page when we have them. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cscharlie 107 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 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 That's a real interesting top cover ya got there Tony. Is it hinged to the dovetail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Really i like the idea behind this, but i would bolt it on then tig weld it myself. my biggest worry about welding on this gun is destroying the tempering... I like to run HOT(it helps burn out impurities in my work). I don't think i would be that worried on the charging handle. Here comes the tig rod... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Rumore Tromix Corp How sharp are the spiral serrations,how much longer is it than the existing charging handle and how much will you want for them? Nice looking item Sir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 It looks like the price will be around $18....which a bit higher than I wanted. I think I could sell a bunch more if it were less, but that's the way it goes. I should have them ready to ship in about 3 weeks if all goes well. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even in these economic times. Just curious, but how difficult would it be to make something like this with a Galil style knob sticking upward to make an easy no-gunsmithing Galil bolt carrier conversion?

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) <--- Definitely ordering at least 1, probably 2. Who's going to carry them? CSS? EDIT: I just saw up above, that CSS will be carrying them. Edited March 11, 2009 by 22_Shooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mwessel 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Tony, I believe you were distributing thru CSS...yes? Also they will be painted Saiga black. Is it possible I can get one unpainted as I polished my bolt and the carriage handle. That way if it doesn't look good in the raw I can paint it black and go for the contrating color. Thanks and nice work. Oh and ya have a chrome hex bolt versus a black one for it. Wouldn't want it to have a black eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joelrod47 373 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I held one of these in my hand last weekend at Tony's shop, and the picture doesn't do it justice.............. These are really sweet !!! I've got my order in !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vbrtrmn 167 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 $18 is a bit steep, but the fact is, you're paying for a high quality item from a well respected member of the community, I'll still get two or three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

az_shootist 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Out of curiosity, were you forced to locate the set screw on the front? In it's pictured location, that is the part that will be in dead contact with your hand. It seems like locating it on the bottom would benefit asthetics and feel, or at least locating it in the rear would keep your hand on the knurling when charging. ...I was gonna PM the question, but PM is disabled.

At a guess, the set screw at the front takes advantage of the existing curve in the handle -- little extra insurance against slipping off. Just a guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steep? So why don't you make some for cheaper? Out of curiosity, were you forced to locate the set screw on the front?

At a guess, the set screw at the front takes advantage of the existing curve in the handle -- little extra insurance against slipping off. Just a guess. I think you're right. See Tony's post below: 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
