Is the proper set up for a G3K/ G3K clone.... a 33/93 cocking tube with a 91/G3 cocking support?

No. There are other differences. A 33/93 cocking tube will not work. I believe the internal diameter is tighter on the 33/93 cocking tube
mainly, goes the G3K have a 91 cocking support?
You will need a 91 cocking tube cut and welded to the overall length of the 93 cocking tube. A 93 tube will not work because the stop where the support interfaces is shorter than the 91. If you decide to get a 91 tube converted, make sure whomever doing it knows what they're doing. I came across a few tube converted that were extremely crooked. I was so bad, you could eyeball it crooked as hell. Yes, you can use the standard 91/G3 cocking tube support.
I ordered a g3k cocking tube support from hkparts.net. When I talked to Jeff about cutting down a g3 support he was pretty specific about getting a g3k support from hkparts.net
Thanks for the input so far.......lets make sure we are using the same lingo......the only cocking support on hkparts says 91/G3.......yes, there is a G3K cocking tube.......is the support the same for G3/G3K?????????? Support is the little piece the cocking handle is pinned to
also, anybody have any great ideas how to remove the pin for the cocking handle if it won't budge with some whacks from a hammer and punch????
The only real option is a g3k cocking tube support. That is what you need gilliebear built my g3k with that part. The gun runs great. He was very specific using that part. He said he could cut down a g3 cocking tube support but it was much better using the already configured g3k cocking tube support from hkparts.net. My build runs great with my registered sear pack.

It is the same part. The G3K and G3 cocking tube is the same length as far as the slot. The nose of the bolt carrier and the ccoking tube support is the same length. The only difference is the length of the nose forward. There is no specific cocking tube support.

As for pin removal, use a large hammer and punch. Pop it out from top to bottom.

From your previous question, yes, the G3/91 support is what you will use in a G3K. And as others have noted, buy the correct G3K cocking tube or have a G3/91 cocking tube cut down; a 33/93 tube will not work.

Look really close at the ends of the pin to see if one side is smaller than the other. If so, tap from the smaller end.
Thanks guys!!!! Chop, I did notice the big end of the pin is on the bottom where I whacked away with no luck while thinking that seemed a bit dumb!!!! What I am trying to do is fix a friends Vector G3K pistol. It works but get hung up at times. What Vector did was cut down a G3 carrier and use a homemade cocking support that is not G3 but appears to be cut down from a 33 kit (guess on the 33 kit due to the length). I think it may be worth a shot to try the correct cocking support and a real G3 bolt carrier........sound good Chop???? Any thing else you can think of about my strategy here?????? Thank you again to all who have helped here

You need to determine what cocking tube is on the gun first. It sounds like Vector may have welded on a 93 cocking tube, then said oh $#it, the bolt carrier does not fit this tube, then jerry rigged something to make it work. If a 93 tube was installed, you will have the same dilemna when you try to use a stock 91 bolt carrier and support.
