fritzthemoose 3 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 îs it true that its the same one like the Remington 1100. I heard they can be swapped??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jim032374 4 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) The MKA 1919 Gas System is based on the Remington 1100 design but that is where similarities end. Parts are not compatible including the Charging Handle. The Remington Charging Handle may fit into the MKA 1919 Bolt and Bolt Carrier and even set into the detent ball but it does not have the Slot Key of the MKA 1919 design. This key is locked in place by the Bolt during normal functioning, without it, the Charging Handle may move out of place..... The Remington 1100 Charging Handle uses a Notch instead of the mentioned Key. I don't have a Remington 1100 but have made my observations based on the design diagram. Simply put... Buy a MKA 1919 Charging Handle replacement from Firebird, you can get it for $39.99 from Centerfire Systems. Cheers Edited October 15, 2012 by jim032374 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Jim, have had one of your charging handles on backorder thru Centerfire for quite awhile, can you tell me when you'll restock them ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stretch1100 0 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was told by Centerfire a few days ago that they've never actually had them in stock and have no eta. I emailed FB and they haven't responded. May have to go with the Salem6 one if that ever comes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stretch1100 0 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Firebird said the are redesigning the charging handle part and to keep an eye on their Facebook page for announcements. Maybe a month or so. They aren't stocking the original one anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gpqueen 545 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 We are waiting on the new Firebird design to come in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HDDP 18 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 We are waiting on the new Firebird design to come in. Thanks Greg, I'll keep checking your site for updates. In the meantime I think I'll fab something from the Remington 1100 Combat Handle that Brownells has, welded to the shaft of the OEM handle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
