The prototype handles for the original Maxim machinegun were allegedly taken from haybale hooks.
I have no idea if that is true, or apocryphal, but it would not surprise me were it true.
Hiram Maxim was not a great spender of money at that time of his life.
It would not seem unreasonable to model similar handles for the weapon you are building.
Which model is a very fine example and a pleasure to see.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.
