Cocking Handles For Crosmods 22XX Breech

[airgunenthusiast]

The RJ Machine cocking handle fits the RJ breech nicely but is a little undersized for the Crosmods breech.  The RJ cocking handle shaft diameter is .178" so I made a pair of replacement handles sized at .198".  Both new handles fit nicely & operate smoothly.  I think the handle with the large cocking knob matches the heft of the breech best but I like the look of the grooved handle as well.  I had originally planned to pin the knob to the shaft but that wasn't necessary since the parts friction fit together so snugly.  I'll probably make a few more handle styles and get started on a detachable front sight for the Marauder pistol.  Attached are some photos of the handle making process.

You're correct about that new knob matching the Crosmods breech much better.  Good job on that. 

I now need to make one for my Crosmods breech.

Take note of that die being held in the 3-jaw chuck. It was something I learned as an apprentice, but with the need for single point threading that I have been doing for years, I had forgotten that little trick! Works great too! Thanks for reminding me.

BTW: that is a sweet looking knob!
