What good is a G3 without a cocking lever? What good is a G3 without a cocking lever support? The correct answer is “not very.” Both parts are essential components of the rifle, as pulling back the cocking lever retracts the bolt and allows for any of the following:
- Cocking the firearm
- Hand-loading/ejecting a cartridge
- Clearing a jam
- Ensuring a cleared chamber
The G3 cocking lever support is a part housed in the rifle’s cocking tube and catches/retracts the bolt when the cocking lever is pulled. It is connected to the cocking lever with the cocking lever axle and elbow spring.
Whether you want to build a G3 from the ground up or you’re looking to gather spare parts, at just $2.95 for a pair, the G3 cocking lever support is an inexpensive way to begin.
A cocking lever is one of the most essential parts when considering a firearm’s functionality. The G3 cocking lever support attaches to the cocking lever and allows for smooth operation. It is an original factory part made in Germany by HK.
Spare parts are an important consideration when it comes to firearms. Like any machine, firearms rely on a series of parts to function properly, including parts for the cocking device. If a part breaks or fails, a repair or replacement is necessary.
It is also important to consider availability. At this time, Keepshooting.com has a wealth of authentic, original factory parts from HK for the G3/HK91/PTR91. Not only are they readily available, but also they are cheap. Now is the time to take advantage.
