I purchased a standard 308 charging handle (CH) from a FL based dealer. Well known to have quality parts. Installed it in a Aero Precision upper. There is a bit of bare aluminum now showing on the CH. Thinking that my CH may be out of "mil-spec", I stopped at a local gun shop to buy another CH to see if this would relive this wear issue. The only CH the shop had was a "slightly" used one, as the dealer called it. It had similar marks on it as well. My question is, has anyone come across this "wear" on their AR308 style CH? I know that there isn't a "mil-spec" for these style rifles. Just two similar platforms, Armalite and DPMS. Shouldn't CH for these two platforms be interchangeable? Thank you in advance, Wade.
