Cocking handle help!

Post by **Intruder196** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 11:07 pm

The spring inside my cocking handle is broken as the handle simply flaps around. My spring is definately shorter than the ones pictured for sale on gunbroker, and all those are shown disassembled. Can any of you post a pic of how the spring should go once I get a replacement?

Thanks for the pics Tom, I was able to unravel one coil on the broke spring and reinstall it. It works but is kind of weak so i will need to find a suitable replacement.

If i didn't have the example of one assembled, I would have never figured that one out.
Did you get a Brp set to compare?

The spring was the last thing I put in. I installed the rear and front parts in there, and inserted
front pin completely. I then layed the spring in there (long end to rear, short to front) Layed a flat
file in over the top, and levered it downward till I could work my roll pin in there (use new stuff)

I'll work on a pic....but it's all out in the shop....sorry

This thing has me totally baffled, The spring I got with my kit was a rusty POS It broke
trying to install it. Now I need a giant rubber band for test firing!

you don't need the cocking handle spring to test fire the thing only moves when you manualy cock for the first round, not like the m2 or 1919

The German wartime wrenches sell for over $200, this one is $45 delivered. This is Norwegian production, as evidenced by the part numbers stamped, and is the same as the German wrench except for having a part number and lacking a little eagle. I have 2 for sale. This wrench is 4-1/2" long and is usually kept in the tool pouch worn on the gunner's belt. Click on the picture to see a close-up.
