Tomorrow. They are getting laser etched in the morning.
Watch the engraving on some black handles here.

I'm hoping to see my handle in Saturday or Monday and will try to get a picture of a "brown" handle next to my FDE MOE if nobody beats me to it.
Black version came in today. Very high quality. There is zero left over machining marks at all. Nice deep anodizing as well. I am very into high end RC (vehicles, planes, helicopters, etc) And many of them have been upgraded with numerous manufacturers aluminum parts. Some obviously better then others. But the point is, I have a lot of experience with machined aluminum parts. And I can say the quality of this Tacticool handle is on the higher end (top) of the scale. I am really impressed with the build quality. Here is a pic of course. 
Thank you Jody for the great product.!

Thank you for the kind words and the GREAT pics.
The bottom side by side pic speaks volumes.
So this is how I installed mine and it was super easy using this method.
1. Receive your handle
2. Remove your current handle and compare. Topside picture.
Lower side picture.
Front side picture.
3. Remove your existing latch and spring by drifting out the retaining roll pin. Use a hammer and choice of drifting device. I used a allen key tool. About 1.5mm if I remember correctly. The pin will come out of the stock plastic charging handle very easy. Do not lose it as you will need it as well as the stock spring.
4. Next, I started the roll pin into the new Tacticool22 charging handle. I tapped it in enough to keep it in place but not protrude into the channel for the charging handle latch. You can also insert your latch spring.
5. I then aligned the latch by using the allen key inserted through the handle and into the retaining latch. This aligns the holes in both pieces so when you go to tap in the retaining roll pin, it will tap into place and not bind. You can use many thing for this. Tooth picks, brad nails, etc. As long as it is small enough to fit in the roll pin hole but snug enough to not fall out under gravity.
6. I then used a hammer and tapped the pin into place. by having the allen key aligning the roll pin hole in the handle as well as latch, it tapped into place very easy. Check your handle and make sure the latch pivots freely. Sorry for blurry picture.
7. Install in your 15-22 and rock on. You may have to clean the channel in the upper receiver as this handle is precision fit. There is no room for built up gunk that can be left behind. The stock handle is very tolerance loose. And residue can build up in it's channel due to this. You may have to clean the channel the charging handle rides in to allow the Tacticool22 charging handle to move freely. it is a very nice fit and slop free. You can now feel that much more secure in that there is a better fit and finished handle in your firearm. Now go sling some lead!

Nice tutorial and photographs!

Thanks brother. Some of the pics are a bit fuzzy as it is just a Canon 7mp point n shoot. My carpet in that room is also very fuzzy from the darn cats. They hang out and shed in there constantly. Always want to help work on whatever I am doing as it is my hobby room. I hope what I wrote will make it easier for some as I have read a lot of people having a hard time getting the pin in.
Any word on the olive drab, go/no go? The colors choices are killing me, just had a weird thought of buying the blue and changing my rifle into an all black and blue gun. However if the OD shows its face it might presuade me to stay camo....

By the way Tacticool, your handle is freakin sweet!!!!... Just snug enough and clean, not like the PT handle that is loose and rough... It also goes great with the super clean SWS latch ( im not a fan of the paddle latches)... Keep up the great work guys!!!

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.
