Interesting design of a TBR (bolt release) at 5:54 mark, looks long and thin and is installed with the Zendl TMR (mag release). Never have seen this one before.

The post above is opinion, and I am probably totally wrong, so please pardon me if I offend anyone in any way. I am speaking only for myself and just sharing my thoughts, not trying to start an argument with anyone, and if you disagree with anything I have said, I concede your correct.

Good video.  Thanks for sharing.

It's the one here: http://www.caledonianclassicarms.com/acatalog/Accessories-1.html


Also looks similar to one Zahal was selling a year or two ago:


I do think having a larger shelf and closer to your hand would improve the ergos of the TBR.  Does require a pretty firm push to release the carrier and at the end/last knuckle or so, leverage isn't the greatest...

Both the Zahal TBRs and the Zendl TBRs appear to be operating just fine in OOW and Czechpoint receivers.  Thank you.

Thank you??  What is that supposed to mean.  I guess I will have to reinstall my Zahal TBR into my Czechpoint VZ and video the wobbly piece of crap that I paid too much money for?  If you look carefully at the Zahal link that you posted, you will see that the TBR that they have for sale is NOT the TBR in the video.  Look at the 0.15 and 0.33 second mark in the video.  That is not the TBR in the picture above the video.  If you buy one from Zahal, you get the TBR in the picture, not the one in the video, and it doesn't fit right.  You're welcome.

I'll have to try the Zahal in a Czechpoint to see what your experiencing. When you say it is wobbling is it in the front/back, side to side, or just totally loose?  Perhaps the different receivers have different tolerances.

Sent you a PM

$150 + ship  - a new high.  I believe this beats Zahal and VZ58Rifle.

In related news, I think I finally solved the TBR issue. 

Price would be at least 50% more than the mag release (apparently costs more to manufacture), but still very good considering the alternatives... 

I'm thinking a small T&E trial GB before a larger one so that we can get an idea of durability, etc, before buying in quantity, paying an importer, etc ...  Watch the main board for details.

Excellent.  If anyone was going to get it done, it would be you.  U da man.
