ICS SIG 551 bolt handle

[hodogu]

One problem I have found with the SIG 551 from ICS is that the bolt handle is made of metal/plastic and breaks very easy. I noticed that the SIG 552 has a slightly different bolt handle. Does anyone know if the 552 handle fits the 551 and is the ICS SIG 552 bolt handle all metal?
Or are there any other alternatives besides machining my own?

The bolt handles should be interchangeable.

Should have got a G&G SIG. Just like the real steel.

+1. I moved over to G&G, and for a time I had both in my possession. The G&G is like a brick. I used to think the ICS felt fantastic despite its short-comings, but it's very cheesy feeling compared to the G&G. The bolt handles handles should be interchangeable, because you can only find ICS SIG bolts, not ones specific to the model.

Thanks guys, can anyone comment on the second part of my question about whether or not the sig 552 bolt is all metal?

The part you can grip, IIRC is all metal. Although not a nice metal, since it corrodes easily. I can't speak for the part that hooks it into the receiver. I do remember that the finish on that end is questionable, so you may wish to rub some sandpaper to smooth out the bumps in the material (metal or plastic,) to help retain the bolt in the gun.
