The cocking handles are the same. But the cocking handle supports are different for the 91 vs the 93. Here are two links to U.S. made handles. Both ads only mention the 91 but they will also fit the 93.

I think both Adam's and Scorpion's are the same product from PTR.

If you doubt me, look at RTG Products ad for his German made 91 cocking handles. Again these are not U.S.made products, but at the bottom of the page he says that they will fit the 93 also.

Some of you may know that one of my "hobbies" is blueprinting parts that I may someday want to replicate. I use fairly sophisticated optical scanning and contour tracing equipment for most of the small stuff then transferr the scans into CAD. Until a few minutes ago, I've never compared an HK33 cocking handle to anything else. I scanned my HK33 cocking handle on my last build before I put the new aluminum handle on it (easier to scan without the plastic crap getting in the way). I already had a scan of a Cetme cocking handle in my file. I was able to pull both scans together in CAD and overlay them using the pivot hole as the common reference point and the shapes matched up nearly identically.

Based on the outside profile in relation to the pivot hole I believe that a Cetme handle would work on an HK33. That said, I don't think there is any difference between the Cetme and HK91 cocking handle at all.

Oddly enough, I took a photo of an HK33 (modified) cocking handle over the top of an HK91 ckocking handle. They are the same except for the groove the leg of the spring rides in.


I did the same thing in my Cetme PSG1 build, top is an HK91 cocking handle, bottom is a modified Cetme handle:

They are not the same...Adam helped me out with correct one. The pivot and camming surface angles are different. Someone had installed G3 cocking handle on my 53 and it made it nearly impossible to cock because the bolt wasn't fully unlocking.

Rhinelander can you take measurements off of the cam pin hole comparing your G3 handle and the HK53 you got from Adam?

My 33 handle came out of an original HK. I still have the black plastic handles that had cracked.

No worries about trying to convince people about anything, I gave it up as my new years resolution. It's way more fun to watch them do dumb stuff and pump up the economy spending money needlessly. I usually ask them to take a lot of pictures and post their findings.

Interested minds want to know. You installed it once, don't want to a second time? You'll only get better the more you install and remove. I'm just givin you a rough time cause I'm too cheap to buy one myself.
