Blackgun Biathlon type cocking handle

Well here it is Mk1 in place, just needs a tidy up however I wanted to confirm function first of all.

Nice, I guess it will transport better as well - being flat etc,

It does seem to be an improvement, now I just need to make it black.

ovenpaa,

I like the look of what you've done so far. If you're shooting off a bipod would a left-hand cocking handle (biathlon-style) be more ergonomic than a right-hand one?

Is there much resistance to opening the bolt? I have only experienced a Swiss K31 action which requires a touch of brutality to slam the bolt backwards, followed by an equally vigorous return push to ensure that the bolt goes into battery.

It is fairly light to operate and all I need to do is pull it back and let go, the spring carries the bolt forward and picks the next round up in the process.

that looks very nice! don't suppose you could come up with a better charging handle for the AUG could you?

What does the standard one look like and how is it attached?
