Replacement Finger Guard for Man Kung Chester MK-XB65 Crossbow

Replacement Finger Guard for Man Kung Chester MK-XB65 Crossbow

Design and Material

The guard is constructed from an extremely strong and lightweight polymer in a matte black finish, perfectly matching the design of the Chester crossbows. Its construction is meticulously thought out:

• "U"-Shaped Profile: Forms a robust channel that mounts to the underside of the crossbow's frame.
• Flared Wings: The side walls of the guard are flared to act as a shield.
• Skeletonised Cutouts: The modern, skeletonised design not only reduces overall weight but also adds to the crossbow's tactical aesthetic.
• Integrated Warning: Moulded directly onto the sides is the text "WARNING: KEEP FINGERS BELOW GUARD" as a constant visual reminder.

The Key Function – Protecting Your Health

Why is this part indispensable?

Compound crossbows like the Man Kung Chester generate enormous energy, with string speeds exceeding 120 m/s (over 400 FPS). If the fingers of your supporting hand were to carelessly creep above the foregrip and into the string's path, the result would be an instantaneous and catastrophic injury with permanent consequences. This guard acts as a reliable physical barrier that keeps your fingers safely out of the danger zone. Its use is fundamental to shooting discipline and responsible ownership.

Compatibility with Chester Models

This genuine Man Kung spare part is designed exclusively for the following compound crossbow models:

• Man Kung MK-XB65BK Chester
• Man Kung MK-XB65FC Chester

Installation and Maintenance

Simple Installation

The finger guard is typically mounted on the lower Picatinny rail of the crossbow, between the frame and the vertical foregrip. To install, you need to unscrew the foregrip, place the guard onto the rail in the desired position, and then firmly screw the grip back on, which will secure the guard in place.

Principles of Safe Use

Remember, while the guard is an excellent safety aid, it does not replace your own awareness. Always be conscious of your support hand's finger placement! Make it a habit to hold the grip so that your fingers remain well below this protective shield. Before every shooting session, check that the guard and grip are securely tightened.

Component Care

Maintenance is minimal. Keep the guard clean and free of dirt buildup. Periodically check the tightness of its mounting. The part is made from a durable material that can withstand demanding conditions.
