    Geissele is really killing it with black friday deals. They also added a ton on new parts. Site appears to be getting hammered right now 1920.

    Those shopping for a rifle the Duty 16" is $850 and the description states:
    Geissele 16", Nitride, Heavy Profile Button, 1-7 twist

    Too bad you can't access the site. It's been down since the sale went live. Maybe better luck tomorrow.

    I’ve googled, but aren’t found a great answer...

    What is the “Government Charging Handle”?

    Different from the Airborne Charging Handle and the Super Charging Handle? Different how?

    Watch the video. Something about the edges being more rounded off.

    Ah. Videos didn’t load at first. Thanks. Missed it until I paused and zoomed in.

    Bill Geissele calls it the Federal Charging Handle in the video, but it’s marked Government:

    Ordered a (replacement) 5.56 and new 7.62 reaction rod finally. Been putting off buying for a while now.

    Never loan tools. Loaned out my old 5.56 one to a friend of a friend and he "lost" it.

    It seems to me that "said friend" should be the one ordering a reaction rod!!!

    My friend reimbursed me back then what a new one would cost when its not on sale, so no worries there. Had just put off buying the replacement since I didnt have any projects on hand or upcoming.

    I am basically building a Geissele rifle out of their parts, minus a choice few from other manufacturers. This was definitely a fantastic sale.

    Seems that it would be cheaper just to buy one of their rifles than to piece one together.
    If I wanted the exact configuration they were selling, yes. But since I want a 12.5" midlength gas barrel, an 11.5" handguard, adjustable gas block, no muzzle device, and the BCM furniture that I like . . . not so much. By the time I've pulled everything I don't want and replaced it with what I do want, I'm way more upside down on time and money.

    Missed it by that much. Had a upper in the basket and got tied up at work :( But, I'm guessing the moon will spin around the earth once more.

    Mine just shipped. Not 8 weeks this time. :party29::party29::party29:
    My order still says "processing" so I think it is safe to say that I will be waiting for a bit. Most of what I ordered was 35-40% off, so I don't mind. The Triarc barrel is going to be a bit of a wait, too. I assume all this stuff will come in about the time my Form 1 stamp comes back on a lower, if I end up going that way. I may just run it as a pistol.
