Slug-O 6 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Well I always want it my way.... I broke out the dremel early this week and went to my friends brothers welding shop and he tig welded my CH to the left side. I never liked reaching over and working the Ch and my reloading and working the action is faster. All in all im very happy with it. Thought I would show a few photos of it...

TheHunterOfSkulls 230 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 That is one sweet machine there. And it's making me really seriously consider the left-side charging handle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Looks great! I'm a righty, and this something I've been wanting to do for awhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iSaiga 4 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Wow! Ballsy AND Unique. Awesome combination Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thehopping1 105 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 That's awesome man. It does take a little getting used to, but so worth it IMO. Wait until you hand it to a hardcore AK guy and he tries to pull the charging handle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 You guys are some of the most creative/resourceful people!! I like it...my daughter is a lefty so I know how difficult that can be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcough@metrocast.net 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi Slug O, Nice looking work, any issues since you did the left side CH? How many rounds have you run through it since? Were there any problems with heat distortion on the bolt? Any idea what setting your friend did for the weld? Thanks, Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slug-O 6 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 No issues with it being on the LH as of yet. I want to run a few hundred more. As for the setting on the Tig I do not know that answer. He was worried about heating up the bolt to I stood over him and every weld he did I was there with aa air gun to cool it down. The last thing I want done is to fill in the holes on the left side and it will be perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockmup 12 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Nice job. I'm a righty and mine are all converted to LH CH's as are most of my AK's. Edited January 31, 2010 by rockmup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zambidis 90 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Looks good. How do you feel about it in terms of function now that it is done. I've been thinking about a LH charging handle for a while now. I think I would prefer a horizontal one though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
