It is a great shooter. When the bcg is locked open, the charging handle is somewhat difficult to move to the closed position. It feels like it is being forced into its slot in the receiver. In other words, it doesn't move freely like on my other AR's. Any ideas?

Well, not much interest in this but I thought that I would post an update anyway.

I talked with POF. They knew exactly what i was talking about. They are in the process of making their own charging handle that will eliminate the problem. I guess it will be a bit smaller.

Had the same problem with a "gas-buster" style charging handle. The bottom was riding on the buffer tube mount on the lower receiver. Wasn't a problem until I put a tighter-fitting upper receiver on and it started rubbing. Broke out the dremel (on the charging handle). problem solved but it's not pretty.
