I replaced my charging handle with one of these....

Comes in medium and large.

Get the MechArmor, great stuff!

I run the BCM Mod 4 ... but the extended charge latch might be slightly to long... it pokes into my gut when carrying it across my torso.

So if you can look at some of the BCM models... you can decide which you prefer.

I guess the same could be said for all the extended latch charging handles... lol

The MechArmor is far superior to the BCM, in this situation (scoped, magnified optics). I've got more than 15 BCM charging handles in various ARs, so that MechArmor vote of confidence is not given lightly, or with no experience between the two brands.

The Mod 3 would go right through your thorax, then...

I know, late to the game......

Mecharmor all the way!  3 of them on 3 AR's and the 308AR took many multiple hammer hits to open the action due to reloading errors....and it just keeps on working!

I recommend without reservation.

I don't recommend ever doing it, but the MechArmor TacOps-1 is the CH I would feel safe "kick-starting" and not exploding or bending.

Oh, you're gonna kick-start something this fall, and if you can get the fucker started - you have to ride it.

I have helmets.  And the MX boots are size 11.  You need a boot, or it can mess up your leg.  Deal with the boot size...  I'm just sayin'...

It will.

I know.

As hard, and as much,  as I literally hammered on mine with both a claw hammer and a gunsmith hammer....yep, it will take kick stsrting, no worries!
