AK-47 left handed cocking?

[JWarren]

Tromix does a conversion for Saigas that replaces the cocking handle with a "Galil-type" cocking lever. It would be capable to do that to any AK, me thinks.

The Galil-type cocking lever comes out and bends 90 degrees upward. It seems that it is much easier to manipulate with the left hand. I thought about doing this to my Saiga 308, but thought better of it. It would probably get in the way of optics.


One thing to consider for dremeling and relocating the cocking lever-- it will most likely interfer with mounting a scope rail if that was in your interests.

Domino it isn't that we aren't very interested, but if you are looking for a source to buy these parts from there isn't one. Generally these parts don't even exist unless they are specially fabricated for an individual. The AK ergonomics are good enough for the job and very few people have an interest in modding the design to what you have in mind. So to get what you want you will have to come up with a modification in the design and then find some way of fabricating it for yourself.

Most of us simply find it easier and cheaper to adapt to the system's quirks than to adapt the system to our quirks.

My buddy has a left handed AK. It was a special run for the Spetnaz or something. He's still looking for a left-handed scope for it...
