3/4 Scale DL-44/C96 Charging Handle

thingiverse

I recently assembled the 3/4 scale DL-44 conversion kit for my airsoft mini metal Mauser C96. After attaching all the parts, I encountered a significant challenge in priming the airsoft gun for firing. This was due to the scope obstructing my hand when attempting to cock back the slide to fire. My solution involved creating this small charging handle that mounts in the hole left by the removed rear sight. To install it, simply print the model, remove the rear sight, and secure the charging handle in its place using epoxy. Although this modification makes the blaster no longer "movie accurate," it greatly enhances its usability in airsoft battles, even when wearing gloves. I believe that this functionality is a fair trade for the minor change in appearance, which can only be seen from one side. Ultimately, the decision to adopt this solution rests with each individual.
