New 15-22 charging handle

[acropora]

i finally got my handle today and its a gorgeous piece of master machining.i wanted the FDE and had one ordered but after seeing the pics posted i wasnt sure i would be happy with the color so just asked Jody to swap it for the clear coated aluminum.he had no issues doing it and shipped the next day.anyone who is on the fence about his handles they are worth EVERY PENNY and are so well made.i love the grooves on the perimeter and cross hatching on the top.awesome AWESOME work Jody

It's a go next week. I will post pics later, but the listing will be open tonight for pre-orders. BTW, all charging handles are back at the lower price, except for the custom laser engraving ones.

i wish i knew you were doing custom engravings.my mom just passed a few weeks ago and would have had something put on it i plan on having my RRA 5.56 lower laser engraved for her but have to figure out exactly what i want to put on it.

once again awesome handles and support AMERICAN buisness and workers.

Here's my brief review...

- Machining is great! Very solid, quality part.
- The "brown" is a little darker than Flat Dark Earth (see attached). I'm happy with it.
- The fit in the upper is tight as has been mentioned but the polymer should wear just enough to loosen up over time.
- A standard AR-15 latch spring fits perfect. I used a $1.99 DPMS spring from Midway (currently shows out of stock).
- The SWS latch fits great.

With the spring from Midway and SWS latch (which includes a new pin) I was able to assemble everything without having to tear the S&W part apart. I can't wait to get it to the range to break it in further!

Tacticool22, I take it the OD pre-orders are not yet possible? Look at the site this morning and did not see it. Just confirming since you mentioned it would be ready last night.

 

[tacticool22]

I just updated the website. It's live and ready to go.

 

[pershing]

Just ordered one. Whenever you can post some OD pics to pass the time

Any option for the early adopters to send one back to be customized?

Sure. But it would cost $15.00 to cover S&H plus engraving and paperwork. It is only $10.00 on a new handle because it is already in the system and all the other stuff is factored in.

Im looking to upgrade my charging handle on my 15-22 moe fde. I like the brown one made by tacticool, but am interested to hear pros and cons between the two handles from people who used both.

I am having a difficult time imagining a nicer handle than the one from tacticool22 ... and I have a very vivid imagination.

I'm holding out hope that the light brown/tan becomes a standard offer. I'm in for (2) when/if it does.

Here is a pic of the raw aluminum. EVERYTHING is made in America. What other company can really make this claim. How many other companies design and make their own stuff even?

 

[RED ZMAN]

Have you considered hydro dipping these in the future?

Perhaps just the areas that will show?

Yes I have, but the cost and logistics would drive the cost up too much.
I used to work at a bow company that does their own in-house dipping, so I'm pretty familiar with the process.

 

[RED ZMAN]

Awesome, I just find so many people have never even heard of it. Powdercoating too thick, or do you think it would scrape too much?

 

[tacticool22]

It's pretty thick too. The parts need to be prepped, then primered, then dipped, dried, Etc.

Hey Jody, You know what I would like to see, I would like a metal bolt release maybe something similar to the seekins AR bolt release that has a larger and grippier paddle. the way your Handle came out I am sure there would be a market for you to produce one. I dunno just a thought.
