Left handed cocking handles for vz/cz

[Sevensixtwo]

I did a search and came no closer to knowing where to buy a left handed cocking handle of high quality.
Does anyone here have one who can let me know where to go to get my fix. I gotsta has my left cocky kajigger.

While vague, your search skills have found you your answer.

You can't find them. Reviews are not positive in regards to quality.

Best bet is to get yours modified I'd imagine.

I would like a new bolt as well with both sides having handles mounted straight out 90 degrees to both not up at an angle.

Not sure how though. Doesn't the gun headspace based off of the bolt carrier?

Could be wrong though. lol.

I like that one but handles straight out not angled up.

The bolt carriers are very hard so having one installed isn't that easy. They need to be threaded in then welded ideally because they can fly off while the bolt moves back.

the locking lug is what locates for headspacing

i have done a few dozen ambi and lefty carriers and as was already said just welding may not be enough, the new handle should be either drilled and pinned before welding or threaded before welding. or risk eating the charging handle

for the effort it is not really worth the liability to bother

You already have one

The cocking handle is on the correct side for lefties from the factory. Your trigger hand should never leave the pistol grip.

Thanks.

I thought I might be wrong on how it headspaces.

Shawn I know this already. But if I had wrote right handed cocking handle 76 incorrect people would have attempted to correct me this way it's just you correcting me.

 

[shawn]

I get ya now, you are a righty wanting to fix it lol

Broncoos right. Had him do one for me, thought it would be the cats meow just like the good old FN. Now I own a few CZ/CSA and have just learned to modify my muscle memory or get a bolt hold open release lever for your right hand. Thats works the best for me. Love those nea releases.

Any one try the ak lightning bolt?

 

[Ganderite]

Take a high quality bolt and round the head. Drill and tap the carrier. Works for me.

 

[Sevensixtwo]

No welding done?

 

[Ganderite]

Just Locktite

How many rounds has it seen?

 

[ShotgunNut]

Left handed cocking is a nice change every now and then. I almost shot myself in the face last time though.

 

[Ganderite]

How many rounds has it seen?

Around 500. So far, so good.

Nice. Good job Sir. Any issues drilling/tapping the bolt carrier? Prep work?
