TronJohn 1 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Haven't been around in a while & just wondering if the left hand charging handle or bolt hold open options have been perfected & available through a gunsmith on the board yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) there isn't much to making a left hand charging handle. fact is it's really simple, slot the action cover on the left like it is on the right, cut off the existing handle, and if you are careful and cut it close to the carrier, that can be used on the other side. even if you don't know how to weld (like me), there are a lot of small "mom-and-pop" welding shops that can do the welding for not too much. that's who I go to, to have a PPS43 mag welded on a PPSH41 drum for a feed tower. and it'll be more cheaper doing it for yourself, then having it done by a vendor, sponsor etc... if you wait for someone else to come up with that, then you're going to have to go without, until someone decides to do that. so either DIY or just sit back and wait for someone else, it's that simple personally, I don't wait for anybody to make the things I want. if I waited around for someone to come up with a MP5 stripper loader tool, I would be dead and buried and it still wouldn't be on the market.

TronJohn 1 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hmm not much of a DIYer so doesn't look like I'll be getting this done lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hmm not much of a DIYer so doesn't look like I'll be getting this done lol I found that a lot, lot of people are not mechanically inclined, even for the most simplest of things. no joke, I know a guy who is book smart, has a masters degree in a high tech field, but if his life hung on him changing a tire, he would be dead.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 We have been doing left hand charging handles at Cobra's Custom since they were first offered here years ago. PM for details or see ad about bolt & carrier work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big John! 2,062 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Grab a charging handle from CSS and have it welded on if you can't weld. I personally don't see the value in cutting off the original. Or send it to Cobra and git er done. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I agree John I am not a fan of removing the right side when adding an ambi LH charger. It serves a purpose as a safety stop and is nice to have both options. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JaredC 23 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is the bolt hold open option detailed anywhere on the forum or will Cobra do that too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 You could have him cut a notch into your safety for BHO, use the factory manual BHO, or bribe cobra to sell you the LRBHO in his blonde gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Won't be any bribing necessary once the design is finalized and works with all the available mags currently on the market, including the Csspecs steel mags. Just gonna have to wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
