Morning
I've got a TTR2 courtesy of @nevadacowboy that came with a black teardrop bolt handle. A mate many yrs ago ordered one new from the factory that came with a standard ball version (albeit parkerised)
I know DrBob occasionally offers raw stainless ones, but was wondering if anyone knew where the black ones come from??
Cheers

I hate to recommend anything from him but pcpairgunparts on the bay has them for sale.

Surely even he can't get a bolt handle wrong  :o

The ones pcp airgun parts are selling are powder coated stainless steel. I asked him yesterday.

You can't blue stainless, that's why there either painted or powder coated.

That seller (pcpairgunparts) has been on the bay for yrs now who are they/is he??? I've heard similar responses multiple times now that's all?

I've no idea who he is,
He copies loads of parts, not always very well, supplies prechambers that simply dont work & when challenged blamed the use of Bob & Kev's part for his c**p not working, I won't touch anything else of his with a barge pole, but if you want a black teardrop bolt handle...

Apart from the powder coating coming off in the gate pretty quicky I would guess that the stainless shaft isn't hardened so it will wear too.
