Could use a recommendation for a charging handle latch

[confused]

I mounted my scope and now that i've set my eye relief, the eyepiece is sitting right over the end of the charging handle.  I'm missing the fingers on my left hand, so the latch would have to be operated with my right hand.  Any recommendations?

I'll be the second to recommend Mecharmor.

I've got one of those and a raptor, little by little I'm swapping them all out for the TacOps. Hands down the finest, toughest, best fitting, charging handle I have ever used.

There's an in depth review somewhere around here on the MechArmor TacOps-1... I don't remember who wrote it, but it was very well written... I'm sure the writer is a boarder line genius.

Geniuses are always interesting people. 

I don't recall the exact wording from the review....but it was something like this:

I'm guessing Mech Armor's "Tac-Ops Sniper for AR10" will fit a DPMS LR-308 upper, right?   Anyone have first hand experience using this charging handle in a non Gen 2 DPMS upper?  How many flavors of 308 charging handles are there?  Thanks.

Lr308 and AR10 use the same charging handle. 

The RRA LAR-8 and the DPMS GENii are the only .308 exceptions I'm aware of, off the top of my head.

Sig 716 is another oddball that doesn't play with others.

Ahh yes. JT, I forgot about your plight.

Yes, definitely.  I've had one in my DPMS (actual DPMS) LR308 upper receiver/rifle since 2012, I think. 

[Robocop1051]

I believe they have a brand compatibility list on their website.

That genius misspelled border. You must surely be speaking of the borderline between genius and insanity, in which case you'd be straddling it more or less......

I know one thing, the Tac Ops worked so fine in my 308AR (APF 308 carbine model, which is DPMS Gen I compatible), I went out and bought more to retrofit my little AR15's.

Let me tell you, the Tac Ops handled many multiples of mortaring with a hammer in my 308AR....and THAT takes some beating!
