Is there a bolt extender for Daisy 853C?

We are new to shooting sports (first year coaching) and we finally got our 853C air rifles in (grant money took awhile getting here). Anyway, our 9 year old is having trouble with pulling back the bolt. Is there a bolt extender out there that could give him more leverage? Something homemade that might work? Thought we'd ask here to see if anyone has any ideas before we reinvent the wheel! Thanks!

It's a plastic part riding on another plastic part .... and it rotates slightly so ... be careful ... or you'll have to buy 2 platic parts..... ;-o

These will wear in over time and will get smoother.
Have him try getting the bolt back by using the joint under the index finger knuckle .. not the joint near tip of the finger

Hope this helps .... worse case, he'll be 10 in less than a year and stronger....
