Charging handles - 7.62x39/51


Whiskeyfish

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

If CTD sent me a free Noveske rifle, I would sh1t on it, wrap it in wax paper and send it right back. fornicate those scumbags. It saddens me they are still in business.  

That sounds very specific. I'm willing to bet you've done this before. LOL
