Default Raptor charging handle for the M&P 15-22

Guys & Ladies,

From the way I understand it and was told by a local gun shop they said that the Raptor charging handle does not work with the 15-22LR? Before I buy one is this correct?

Correct.. No regular "AR15" charging handle will work in the 15-22

That is correct. An AR15 charging handle does not fit a 15-22, it's too long. Neither will a 15-22 handle fit an AR15. Looking at the two handles, the difference should be obvious.

I have the NDZ with the oversized latch on my 15/22. Great product.

My Raptor is gonna be delivered from Amazon tomorrow for my 15T.

The handles from NDZ and TactiCool22 are top notch. The latest production of Plinker Tactical are reputed to be decent. I have bought three from NDZ, and are happy with them. The best ambi latch, IMHO, is the PT.

For me to be able to by the NDZ charging handle with the latch I need to buy the charging handle in the design I want and the latch medium or large depends on my needs?

The charging handle from NDZ in the design I want I would have to buy the charging handle and also buy the latch as well?

Not yet. I need to be close to releasing it for sale. It's too far away right now.
But I will post it here when it is time. I promise.

I guess I shouldn't tell you that Radeon makes a Raptor charging handle for the 15-22, I purchased one that came with a ambi safety switch, I've had it on my 15-22 for around a year now and it works great.

Nice products. I put both the CH and ambi ss on my 15-22. Everything operates perfectly. I got them as a set. I think I paid somewhere around $75.00 for the CH and Ambi SS.
