Strike Industries Charging Handle Latch

[NY Leatherneck]

Put two of these on this weekend on my builds...I have to say one if the best low cost upgrades for an AR. Solidly made, comes with tapered roll pin and a new spring. Instead of a whole new latch for $40-60...This baby is $9. 5 minute install.
Also comes in red @Snappo ☺ cheapest place I found it is below.

I don't know why they stopped selling the whole charging handle. I got one off Amazon a year or so ago and love it.

Side charging uppers are the way to go.

Think they still do...I saw some looking around but didnt want to bother replacing the whole thing as I have a BCM Gunfighter and love it but 2 more at $60 each is too much.

 

[Airborneguy]

Agreed. I have two BCM's, but both were bought on sale cheap.

I bought one years ago (different brand) and it dug into my chest when slung. You guys never experienced that?

 

[Airborneguy]

I don't use the real big ones, just slightly extended. I like that I can rack them from one side without wrapping two fingers over it.

These latches are good for 1 finger pulls

They do still sell the whole charging handle, along with the extended latch, and they come in four different colors too.
I ordered the blue charging handle with extended latch from them for my new rifle just last week. I also added a blue forward assist button.

 

[Airborneguy]

Link? I can never find them. I'd like one more.

I swear I've never seen them on their site before this. Weird.
