Extended Charging Handle

RoninsGrips · #1 02-20-2012, 09:21 AM

Folks, where can I find an extended/oversize charging handle for the 15-22? I tried contacting beltfed but haven't hear back from him.

DZH · #2 02-20-2012, 10:26 AM

Give him time
It took about a week for him to email me back. It is a nice peace worth the wait

thanks DZH, i was also waiting to hear back from him...

RoninsGrips · #4 02-20-2012, 03:08 PM

He emailed me today. I'm good.

CA2NC · #5 02-22-2012, 09:18 AM

did you email him through the site or is there a separate email address for him?

RoninsGrips · #6 02-23-2012, 08:00 AM

I emailed him through the board's message system. In other words, I clicked on this user profile and then selected "Send email" as I recall. It just took him a few days to get back to me.

CA2NC · #7 02-23-2012, 09:42 AM

cool, hope to get a response soon then

CoreyT · #8 02-23-2012, 11:03 AM

I emailed him from his profile here, also looking at getting one.

CA2NC · #9 02-23-2012, 02:40 PM

cool, let me know if you hear back before I do, i think it's been a week.

QuestSHP · #10 02-23-2012, 04:00 PM

I emailed him a little over a week ago about a barrel shroud and have yet to get a response. I know people are busy with their lives and I don't want to seem impatient but... Id sure like one of his awesome barrel shrouds!!!

Pass this message on if your able to get in touch

Majorlk · #11 02-23-2012, 04:15 PM

I PM'ed and eMailed him well over a month ago and have yet to receive a response to either one.

Plinker Tactical has a nice one

At this point, it appears that it exists only on their web site.

bigdawgbeav · #14 02-23-2012, 10:01 PM

If it makes you feel better I sent him $20 for the charger. Check cashed on 2-9... still no handle. Bo response to PMs. But I know he'll get it to me.

LemonadeGrenade · #15 02-23-2012, 11:57 PM

Just to let everyone know. I received an email from Eric at Plinker Tactical 2 days ago regarding their charging handle. This is what he told me. It's not much from what I think other people have been hearing from them but for anyone whose interested read on below:

The handles will be in several stores, but you can certainly buy on-line from Green Top Sports in Glenn Allen Virginia. Retail is $62.00. Machined from aircraft billet with a steel latch. They will ship to the dealer at the end of the month.

Hey guys, I just want to ask what are the advantages to having an aftermarket/oversized charging handle? I'm new to tactical firearms, and the one for the 15-22 does feel a little flimsy I guess, but I was wondering the advantages of it, I might want to buy one!

It can be easier to reach under a low/long scope plus if you are in a rush you have a bigger object to hit.

Mine is a royal PITA to get to under my scope (I have to basically turn it upside down and use two hands...so this makes it easier

Jordan1186 · #19 02-24-2012, 12:55 PM

Cool that makes sense. Guess I didn't really think of that, thanks guys.

Or if you are using gloves. Just something longer to give you a better purchase.

CA2NC · #21 02-29-2012, 11:19 AM

anyone heard anything?

DZH · #22 02-29-2012, 12:36 PM

Email him again and maybe PM him

not yet. no latch, no responses, check cashed. Not very happy right now. I understand life happens, but this is business and if you are going to cash my check then have the decency to simply mail the part out.

Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22

CA2NC · #25 02-29-2012, 02:46 PM

Go the piece in the mail from Belt Fed. Didn't 100% fit right, but i bored out the hole a little bit and was able to get everything in place. looks good and works well.

Are you pretty happy with this setup? Fairly easy to get to and use with the scope there?

sorry..
i have tried link several times and can not get charge handle to come up so thought i would show ours..

RoninsGrips · #32 03-03-2012, 06:57 PM

My charging handle arrived today. Looks very nice but haven't tried to install it yet. Maybe next week some time.

RoninsGrips · #33 03-04-2012, 09:35 AM

It installed easy as could be. I used a bench block to support the handle and used my smallest pin punch to drive the pin out. I made sure I had the latch in hand so it couldn't spring out, and then removed the punch and inserted the new latch. I then pushed the pin punch in to line things up, drove the roll pin back down pushing the other punch out of the way and was done in about 3 minutes.

It works great and is way easier to reach now that my scope is out the way.

CA2NC · #34 03-12-2012, 04:26 PM

anyone else heard back?

nathantc · #35 03-12-2012, 05:26 PM

anyone have a picture of the NDZ one on their gun? It looks like it may get in the way of my scope still

Aceman58 · #38 03-16-2012, 06:10 PM

CA2NC, my photo is an NDZ extended latch.. it clears my Vortex Red Dot with 1/2" riser.

tacticool22 · #39 03-22-2012, 03:49 AM

I will have the extended latch with an aluminum charging handle soon. Check the *** 15-22 Specific CLASSIFIEDS *** for more info.
They're not cheap, but they are not plastic.

Looks suspiciously like the one from Plinker Tactical.

If the price is good, I'd rather buy from you than some mass-merchandiser.

Grjfer · #41 03-22-2012, 01:54 PM

I spoke with Eric from plinkertactical this week. I hope to have one of their charging handles by the end of the month. Stand by for a review.

Aceman58 · #42 03-22-2012, 03:06 PM

Hey Tacticool22, got any to sell, I'm very interested..

tacticool22 · #43 03-22-2012, 04:06 PM

They are just being finished and will go out the first week of April. Maybe earlier.

oneyeopn · #44 03-22-2012, 04:18 PM

I will receive my charging handle tomorrow. It is not cheap and is well made. I have seen them on AR's and with my scope clearance and accessibility is important. If you are interested PM me and I can tell you where to get them.TACTICAL CHARGING HANDLE 2.jpg TACTICAL_CHARGING_HANDLE_3.jpg
TACTICAL_CHRGING_HANDLE_1.jpg I ordered them Monday and get them on Friday, coming from Cali to Kansas that isnt bad. They are made by FAA Corp. There are videos on Youtube that show them.

This design looks okay, but it would be much cooler if the round part of the latch extension were part of a 5.56 casing.

seths · #46 04-05-2012, 01:22 AM

I spoke with Belt_Fed. He is dealing with family matters, that along with work picking up has made things tough. It sounds like things may be calming down, if you have unanswered requests try sending them through his website. beltfed.weebly.com

Got mine today and installed it minutes ago!

I just had to tweak it slightly by leveraging out the latch release a bit with a flat screwdriver so that it would clear the catch, but it worked fine after that. It looks and feels good!
