Is this a decent charging handle?

[budman93]

Is there any reason i shoudln't get this as just a basic charging handle for my build?

Nothing wrong with a basic charging handle however, you'll eventually upgrade it so if you can, get a BCM Gunfighter or a Rainier Arms Raptor now and be done with it.

I agree with the guy above. You will eventually want to upgrade the charging handle so you misewell go with a BCM or a Raptor. I like the BCM Mod 4's and they really aren't that much more than a stock charging handle. It's just a better made part.

They do offer a Gunfighter in an ambi configuration too.

It's nice. Got one on the the 16" 300BLK.

Get a Large levered Gunfighter handle. It will clear any optics or scope. Built like a tank and well priced too.

I only run BCM CHs. Everything else feels (AND IS) like flimsy weak sauce compared to anything else. I have not handled the Rainier Arms one but hear it's legit.

I will say the best CH I have used is the raptor. It is also a $85-90 CH if you are lefty or care about ambi controls its for you. The best CH hands down bang for the buck is the BCM.

I run Raptor handles on mine. Built like a tank and full ambi. Worth every penny.

LMT or BCMGunfighter

BCM Gunfighter Mod 4. Best dame charging handle made.

The raptor must be handled to be appreciated. The quality, build and ease of use are remarkable.

 

[ObsceneJesster]

If I left handed, I would definitely try the raptor. Being that I'm not, I'd rather not spend $80 on something not likely to bring anything else to the table. They look cool though.

1) Raptor (Dosent cast off Blowback as well as a Gunfighter or GasBuster but has the smoothest operation)

2) Gunfighter (Dosent cast off Blowback as well as a Gasbuster, great compromise for #1 and #3)

3) Gas Buster (Dosent have the smoothest operation, but eliminates Blowback Gas)

BCM mid size I got the biggest one and regret it if you come back and smack it a stock one will bend or break.Buy once cry once!

I actually have that exact charging handle and I regret it. It's not something to skimp on, especially when BCM's are only an extra $25. Seeing as that you're buying from PSA, you're probably building a $1000 rifle, give or take; what's an extra $20 to fix a weak point in the gun's design? I know, you can say that again and again and wind up with a really expensive rifle, but the charging handle is one of the parts that really defines the sturdiness of the gun. I wish I had spent the extra money. Personally, instead of spending $45 to get a nice charging handle I get to spend $45 to get a nice charging handle and $20 to get a charging handle to throw in a cardboard box forever. It does its job, but it's a weak point on my rifle.

I think you are good bud. This is your range gun and everything else is psa. I think it will work fine for you.

How does it compare to the raptor width wise at the wings? I may have to get one of these and try it. Another plus for the Raptor that is either a cool factor or nerd factor is it is on the M-27 in the COD Black Ops 2.

 

[ObsceneJesster]

It's only $20 for a pretty substantial upgrade. Mise well go for the BCM.
