Other Jake Bowman cocking handle for P15?

[bivy53]

Does anyone know if Jake Bowman is still making the forward cocking handle kit for the Artemis P15, and where I might purchase one?
Can’t seem to find anywhere, and would really like to upgrade my otherwise excellent little puffer.

You might want to contact Chan (cfs916). He's made some great custom handles for a bunch of us here. Better than good prices too.

Doubt this would be Chan's specialty. The handle he's referring to is a printed slip over part. Has Chan started printing parts?

The writer is asking about a kit to convert his p-15 to forward cocking, not a custom cocking
handle.

I have one of Jakes forward cocking handles try this email: [email protected]. He still makes the kit, offers instructions and spare parts. He is a great guy to deal with.

I put that kit on my P-15, I am not that impressed with it. It works OK but it is a plastic add on.
If I tear the gun back down for any reason, I probably with covert it back to original rear cocker. decisions , decisions
my P-15 is a modified gun with a longer 23" Lothar Walter barrel and an added plenum volume, spitting 33 gr JSBs @ 850 fps
my gun is used for varmints,,, larger furry rodents and if I go out to Vinnie's he uses it for collared doves eating his feed corn, he really likes my light weight
P-15 with a 10 power SWFA,,, my avator

You really don’t want to put much force on it for sure. That is how I found out about the spare parts. Having said that being legally blind had a lot to do with my breakage problems. Being forced to shoot wrong handed, I do love the forward cocking tho.

Your p-15 is really cooking Jarmstrong, mine is set up for indoor use @600 fps with Crosman hop’s.

Thanks Roachcreek. Other than being a little fragile, how do like the way it operates?

I love it.

I did some work on my Skyhawks and had to disassemble it, when I put it back together it would not cock, I tried a little harder pulling it back, Han fisted comes to mind, and broke a part. The failure to cock had nothing to do with the Bowman sidekever.
If you have any trouble just email John and he will help out.
