HI,
Yes we have these but they are straight and would need bending to suit your rifle. They are £26.50 each plus shipping.
Thx
Chris

So, How do you Bend an Alloy Bolt Handle ?

I had a little bit of fun with these, having bought a gsx block, I went to fit a normal bolt handle to find that the gsx bolt handles are thinner and my standard one wouldn't fit in the gsx block.

so might be worth having a measure up, iirc (bit dodgy) Bob supplied me a bolt handle that was thinned out a tad, so might be worth a measure up and chat with Bob who is extremely helpful, despite some of the malicious rumours you will find elsewhere on internet

Thanks Fella, but I've know Bob before he was a Doctor  ::)

I've just bought one of Bob's bolt handles, it's spot on. Maybe he could cut you an M6 thread on one of his

I'd rather him buy a 1/4 UNF cocking bolt to go with it ;D
