New 15-22 charging handle

2 more pics.
Check out the side detail where it is designed to stop in the triangular area of the upper.
One MFG. does not have that feature at all, and another one cuts through the rib making it a weak point with some sharp edges.

how are these tolerance wise?... my PT handle is rather sloppy and kinda rattles around a bit

It's really cloudy today, so the pics don't pop like they should.

Those are sexy as all get out! :D
 
Thanks everybody.
I went with matching the factory charging handle exactly and it does not feel right. Something about the metal clanking around transfers to your fingers much more than with the plastic one.
I have increased the size in some critical areas to tighten it up there, and opened some other areas up to be a little more generous. There is a TON of R&D with some artistic "feel"
They should be getting anodized late next week to be ready for shipping the week of the 25th.
The release date is still April 8th, but you guys are "in the know"
Plus the FDE is being custom blended for a perfect color. And that will take a little bit longer for those.

Worth the wait, I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Can't wait!
 
Looks like a great piece of machine work!

Thanks for the excellent images.

This is going to look great on my 15-22 and next to my new FDE G19! :cool:
 
I think you really would benefit from making a tactical latch or ambi latch. Just a guess, but there might be just as much interest in a latch as a handle. If there was a reasonably priced, quality latch for sale, I know a few people that would pick one up. Last idea-15-22 Raptor charging handle. I don't care how much it would cost, I'd buy one of those.[/QUOT

I want an ambi latch for my M&P 15-22. I have a Raptor on my M&P 15 and I love it.
