So I decided to make a longer handle for my Redding BR-3. My first vision of this handle was something like the handles one finds being used for draft beer. Just need to make a little adapter that will fasten to the BR-3 and allow a draft beer tap handle to fit onto. The new longer handle has an affective leverage length of 10 inches where as the old or original handle has a leverage length of 3 inches. Picture below shows the original handle laying on the new longer handle.
New handle is much longer.
I had to heat the square steel stock in order to bend it. The handle was bent so it would rotate by the top powder hopper. I interested in the exact two angles of the bend, contact me using the web page comments e-mail link at the bottom of this web page. The end being connected to the powder measure was also filed down to allow for enough clearance so the locking set screw maybe removed without removing the handle. See picture below.
