99gst_racer Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I really dislike the factory one and I know I want to upgrade it, but I'm unsure of which one to get. The factory one is pretty small and I don't want to add alot of weight to the bolt if it's going to cause cycling issues. Here's the three that I'm looking at so far. I'm open to any advice on these or suggestions for any others. Factory handle = 13.15 grams Arredondo $22 Supposedly weighted the same as the factory. (Is it plastic??) Nordic $24 19.87 grams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommymechanic Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I was in the same boat about a month ago... I didn't like anything on the market. I wanted a Carrier Comp handle for my M1 so bad that I made my own. I modified CC's M4 version to fit my M1. Took material off the shank. I am sure it took away from the integrity of the handle but whatever. Looks good, fits just fine, manual cycles fine, haven't shot it yet though.

99gst_racer Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 So, nobody here has any experience with the above three??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99gst_racer Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 FYI: I bought and installed the Arredondo handle. It's easy to reach and looks great. The bolt still cycles fine too. So far, so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
