Hi Fellows
I found and buy in UK for £10 this carry handle.

Hi Luis, that would be appropriate for Mk4 barrel or a 7.62mm L4 barrel. £10-£15 is about right for current pricing.

Thank you for your comment!.
Buy this handle, to use the wooden handle on my Lehky kulomet
I'm still not at home to do the test if I will enter the wooden handle of the ZB...

Nice work, Luis, you certainly have a talent in restoration. Well done!

I wish I had 10p for every one of those I'd stripped down and or replaced....... There was a certain knack for replacing those two round nuts especially the smaller one. Both hidden deep in the bowels of the grip and have a zillion TPI threads. Just slightly cross thread it and you're in trouble UNLESS you take apart again, clean thread and start again and DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU FEEL IT TIGHTENING UP.

Hi Peter
The small nut is a nightmare to screw!!! I need special screwdriver to screw?????

Special screwdriver....... Well, there was a special forked screwdriver on the original combination screwdriver. But if you give that combination tool to the crunchies, they'll use it, believe me! And that's something you definitely don't want them to do. We all made a special screwdriver that ensured that the nut remained exactly square-on (or at least you hoped that it would....) to the bolt while the nut engaged the thread. Stick the nut onto the forked recesses in the nut with a blob of grease, insert it into the grip then try a turn......... no binding........... try another turn and if it was still OK, then tighten up.

If you ponly need to do the job once or twice then don't bother making one. Just do it carefully........

Isn't that thread about a million TPI? Wasn't that a bit of a problem to replace? Easy to cross?
