Ares Striker Cocking Handle (Black – Zine Alloy CNC – Type 1 – GS-CH-10)
This is an official Ares replacement cocking handle for the Amoeba Striker bolt-action sniper rifle, part code GS-CH-10. It is made in CNC machined zinc alloy with a black finish, and it is the Type 1 design: a straight speed-style handle with no curve in the stem and a cylinder-shaped stud on the end.
Ares makes a range of handles for the Striker, and Types 1 to 4 differ in the shape of the end piece. Because you work the bolt after every shot, picking a handle that suits your hand and your shooting style is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make to the rifle.
Design and materials
The Type 1 is a short, straight design. Its cylinder stud gives a flat, defined end for your fingers or thumb to catch, so you can flick the bolt up and pull it back in one quick movement.
This version is CNC machined from zinc alloy, giving crisp, precise edges and a clean finish, with the solid weight that makes a metal bolt handle feel so positive in use. The black finish keeps the rifle looking discreet and matches a standard black Striker, or adds a contrasting touch to a coloured one.
In use
According to the product information, a different handle changes the grip and turn angle of the bolt, which can smooth out the pull and speed up follow-up shots. That matters most when a target ducks back into cover after your first shot and you need to be ready again before it reappears.
Fitting
Before swapping the handle, unload the rifle, remove the magazine and make sure it is not cocked. Note how the original handle is fitted, take a photo if it helps, and work carefully on a clean surface so you can put everything back in the right order.

Compatibility
Designed for the Ares Amoeba Striker bolt-action sniper rifle; retailers list this handle range for the AS-01 Striker. It is a Striker-specific part and will not fit VSR-10 type or other bolt designs. If you have a later or different Striker variant, compare your existing handle with the product photos before ordering, and contact us if you are unsure.
Care and maintenance
Give the handle a quick check for tightness before you play, and wipe off any mud, sand or moisture afterwards so grit does not work its way into the bolt.
Store the rifle dry and uncocked. A trace of oil on a cloth will keep metal surfaces looking good, but never let oil reach the barrel or hop-up rubber.
Who is it for?
Ideal for Ares Amoeba Striker owners who want to tune the feel of the bolt, and for anyone building a custom-looking Striker with matching official parts.
Please note: The rifle is not included. Always wear suitable eye protection when using airsoft replicas.
