Searching for a throw lever

[bigHUN]

There are many @ amazon or aliexpress for rings ID in between 44-48 mm, and the majority throw levers are listed for the brands like for Nikon, Leupold, Sightron ... and you name it, but these have no dimensions listed.

My Falcon scope parallax wheel is 38mm OD and the zoom wheel ring is also about 37mm. I would like to find a metal throw lever not some cheap looking 3d prints.

Mind you giving me your scope brand/model sizes-dimensions, maybe I can look for up those in my search.

So far I got this:

- Nikon Monarch 3 has 41.25 mm OD zoom ring

Where is Odoyle? he looks like have access to a larger selection of scopes from all over the spectrum?

 

[Odoyle]

Yeah but I don't normally add on throw levers to my scopes. My fingers and grip are still able most of the time even with hard to turn side focus wheels.

Oh Hunt is cheap under $10 and aluminum but unfortunately too large (42mm smallest I seen) for your 37mm.

You could shim it but won't look perfect even though you can make them fit.

One of THESE should work.

...I don't normally add on throw levers to my scopes....

You see amazon started selling things like this they don't even care what is it for, they don't care much for accuracy or descriptions, only make a buck for every hit.

Just to show some examples:

This and this for Vortex, and this for PA, and this for Nikon, and this for Atlon, and so on, if you don't have exact brand/model scope no way you can figure out is this what you need...no dimensions in descriptions...

Last time I ordered some mm thread inserts for thermoplastics, got a box of 100 pieces in different sizes, there is no dimension what drill size to pre-drill...kind of pissing game, I sent email to amazon they did not bother to reply, then I gave both the seller and amazon a bad review they removed my post...but again amazon saves me a trip to a store and finally I could end up looking into empty shelfs.

BS covid time...but is not about a virus...it is a story...and the rules...and the game... THAT is man made...some making big bucks on this bs...





Edit:

btw, starting this Monday my region is code red...again...no going to stores only essential and bare minimum. So back to online shopping...again.

I would focus strictly on essentials if I were you like Pellets. Oh and toilet paper...

Look up MK machining on the snipershideforums.

I think scope power rings have a screw on them (not at home right now) that could be made as an attachment point.

Might need a longer one so you could attach a modified hardware knob or something.

A machinist should be able to make one , too, which is akin to a threaded mini Crosman probe cocking bolt.

It’s going to look nice and cute, IMHO, especially in stainless.

I am with you on 3D printed stuff—they are ugly and look cheap.

Never could understand why some pricey FX guns have barrel bands made out of this material—it’s like putting steel rims on a Bimmer, ha!

agree...black A4S with deep tint and black rims here

.....so, my whole street mostly euroasian characters but this summer somehow a new family got lost and moved in @ beginning of the street, a big MA black cadillac with those maxed out OD and mirror polished rims is parked in the dryway...

omg I go for a walk the other way around now
