Bolt handle for Stoeger M3000

Ian Swope · Jan 2, 2014

Anyone know who makes a good bolt handle for the M3000? I thought at first I could just use Nordic Components M1/M2 bolt handle but it appears they aren't using the same connector. Any thoughts on one that would work would be much appreciated.

The M2 charging handle fits in the m3000.

Good to know.

That's what I thought but Patrick Kelley said over at Brian Enos that it doesn't, it's a flat connector and not the rounded one like the M2.

My BIL runs an M3000 and it's got a M2 charging handle in it. Fits perfectly.

I picked this one up and it seems to fit at first but I have issues with it causing everything to lock up. Any ideas?

Okay, so this is what I did. The Stoeger M3000 I have has a charging handle with one side slightly flattened along the shaft. Just a small cutout. I used my Dremel to match that up and the M2 handle now works great. That is, until it spins but that hasn't happened yet. To be continued...
