charging handle?

[tacticool22]

That's funny...I put the olive handle in my shopping cart and tried to check out and then boom, it was gone. I was still able to get a black one though...and I was REALLY looking for a silver one!

Now here's a Q for you, tacticool..is there a point to using the old latch from the stock plastic charging handle? I left mine off. Figured I didn't need to bother transferring it because I didn't see the use for it. Why does the handle need to lock? Not like it's loose...or am I missing something?

We are sold out and I am not going to do another production run. They cost too much and sell too slowly. However, that is not going to stop our Gen2 charging handle that will come complete, ready to drop in.
The handle needs to lock. Imagine if you will the one time something does not clear and the bolt catches the latch on the way back.

If you shoot nose to the charge handle like me, you'll be missing some teeth and have a nice scar on your nose, lips, chin......doesn't sound pleasant.
