Charging handle toss up

[Bilb0]

The first time I lost the O-ring. Luckily SiCo gives you an extra O-ring in the package so I added blue grease (marine grade grease? that I had laying around). Worked better, than it after few hundred suppressed rounds it started coming loose again. So now I just check it all the time.

If I see a guy at the range spitting on his CH every so often Ill know who it is

Came across this video. Haven't had time to watch it. So someone else, with more time, watch it and provide cliff notes.

They have a lot of charging handles.

What is different with the “welded” one ?

Description says it has a latch that is welded together, like the “original big latches.” I’d surmise that the “new” military big latches are MIMed parts.

Think there’s a reason to buy the welded ones versus the much cheaper mim?

Doubt it. It’s not like the latch is a pressure bearing item. And, it doesn’t even need a super special geometry to work.

If it is cheaper, yeah. If it is required for a “clone” of something, yeah. Otherwise, MIM is mostly unfairly maligned, in my opinion.

But, I’m a nobody on the internet. Take that opinion for what you paid for it.

Geiselle, the best IMHO.

In my search for a durable charging handle I figured the DS arms steel charging handle would be a good fit. I soon came to the conclusion they werent so easy to obtain.

I began searching for a durable aluminum charging handle that might as well have gas divergence built in to the design.

My toss up at the moment is:

The pri gasbuster m84 (non Ambi) has a great reputation.

Original BCM gunfighter mod 4 made now by Vltor.

I do like how the LWRC CH has its oversized steel rivets and steel latching mechanism.

The raptor has dominated the markets lately but I would like to get members take on their current goto.

I have 4 Radians and 2 Daniel Defense and I like them both. I think the DD are stronger. The first DD ch I bought is on my AR10. They’re very well built. The second one is going on my new precision 556 gun.

I've just been using the mil-spec handle that came with my Bushmaster XM-15. Am I a cave man?

No, but you clearly can’t be trusted.
