Whiskeyfish Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I chose the Noveske (Geissele) Super Badass as the charging handle for my AR308 build. When ordering, I over looked that it was for 7.62x39. The order was already processed, so I let it ride. Then ordered the 7.62x51 model. Meanwhile, the x39 model arrived. I decided to test functionality. Surprisingly, it works fine. Huh? WTH? Now I'm REALLY curious the differences of the two. Both charge handles being 7.62, I want to physically see the differences between them, that justifies a $40 difference in price x39 vs x51. I'll find out next week when the x51 model arrives. More later. I'm all ears if anyone can tell me the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Can you post links, I am not seeing a x39 specific CH on the Geissele or Noveske site? No way will a "x39" CH work in 7.62x51. Noveske has the x51 for $99; https://www.noveske.com/products/noveske-super-badass-charging-handle https://geissele.com/super-charging-handle-schr-7-62.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 It appears that Shittier than Dirt made a typographical error with X39. The description says 308AR and 7.62 NATO for the caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 oh gawd... Please for the sake of all that is sacred. Stop ordering from that site. Every time you hit "submit order" Jesus has to kick a baby elephant. If you won't do it for us, do it for the baby elephants. CTD is run by a bunch of barely-English-speaking foreign companies. They have next to ZERO knowledge of the products they are selling. You literally just bought the same product twice... but there is a silver lining. The Noveske Super BA CH is just a re-branded Geissele Super CH. I get those for $99 directly from Geissele. From the looks of it, you may have got a great deal for their mislabeled idiocy. Geissele/Noveske only have two sizes of charging handles... small and large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyfish Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I called them to ask, why the difference. I told the lady I spoke with, that "G" and Noveske had no mention of x739 model on the site. She told me that CTD does not always do the listings, and that they (whatever retailer) does input the info. CTD is a central listing/distribution point for retailers throughout the U.S., and whatever is ordered, comes from the closest stocking warehouse, and drop-shipped. The prices were said to increase/decrease based on location as well. I then let her know I planned to return the one that was $30 more than the first, after it arrives. LOL!! BTW, I bought the first because it was cheap. Last time I ordered anything from them, was YEARS ago. No drama. The OP was a legitimate concern for those with a straight up response. Thanks for the responses Edited November 16, 2018 by Whiskeyfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Except when you’re raping them for cost on a product! Like I said, my price as a FFL is $99 directly from Geissele. Even if I was a wholesale distributor, my price would be $93. Getting a layered Noveske part for nearly a wholesale cost is awesome. They HAD TO lose money on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
