Throw Lever for Athlon

[Mick-VA]

Found a source for inexpensive throw levers for the Athlon line (and many others) of scopes. MK Machining (website and Amazon). They are US made 3D printed of black PETG Polymer (whatever that is). I got levers for Midas BTR, Argos BTR, and Talos BTR.

• They are very functional, sturdy, and durable
• Makes turning the mag ring very easy even without leaving the eye box
• They seem a lot thicker than they really need to be (opinion)
• Very light weight
• They are very affordable compared to custom CNC Al
• Not super pretty (opinion)
• They just work

Side note - I don't like their scope levels much - the glycerin is very light in color and pretty difficult to see unless in direct sunlight. The cutout area where the glass tube sits is also pretty small such that not much light filters through.

PETG is a very familiar plastic used in drinking water and soda bottles to name a few. It is one of the best plastics for 3D printers as well.
