Would someone measure their AR10 style Charging Handle for me?


Recommended Posts

I am comparing the AR10 style charging handle to the DPMS style charging handle and need and Overall length on both?  I have a DPMS style upper and of course the charging handle and I have what I believe to be an AR10 style handle.  The AR10 style I believe is about 1/2" longer?  The reason I am doughting this yet again, is that I found a company that is selling charging handles for the AR.308 style rifle and it says on their website, that one charging handle fits both styles? Thanks for any help here!

Sometime on Sunday afternoon, I'll grab measurements of the AR-10 charging handle and the BCM Gunfighter .308 charging handle.  Hell, I think I posted pics of this previously - let me check.

EDIT - Yep.  Armalite AR-10 on top, BCM .308 large latch in the middle, and BCM 5.56 large latch on the bottom.  I'll grab lengths on Sunday afternoon.

I take it that both of those are AR10 Charging handles on the top?

Genuine Armalite AR-10 handle on top, BCM .308 handle in the middle (neither Armalite nor DPMS specific, just ".308").  AR-15 on the bottom.  Correctomundo.  <thumbsup>

I didn't get length measurements today due to "Hostile Girlfriend Actions," but I will get them on Monday sometime.  <dontknow>

Genuine Armalite AR-10 charging handle and the identical-length BCM .308 Gunfighter both measured out at exactly 8".  The 5.56 Gunfighter measured out at 6 13/16" long.  Those measurements are tip-to-tip.    <thumbsup>
