Vz61 new style charging knobs

[timkel]

The one thing I didn't like about the VZ61 was the small charging knobs. They are small, slippery and required a firm two finger squeeze to grip. VZ58usa.com is selling extended charging knobs. Installation of the new knobs is simple but some fitting was required. A Dremel with sanding disk was all that I needed. The new knobs work great. Two finger hook to both or just one side gets positive charging.

I'll have to make a set for mine. A neat project for the new lathe and mill.

There are a handful of different designs for those floating around. Making some is on my list but low on the list.

What did you need to sand?
Been thinking about buying them.

The part on each handle that insert into the bolt is oversize. I used a Dremel with a sanding drum to remove a bit from each side until it fit. Each handle took <5 minutes to fit. Now they fit perfectly with no wobble. It's a really good upgrade for this pistol.

Thanks for the heads up!
