stevepsd Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I have a Varmint A4 and with my scope & mount setup (Steiner 4-16x50 34mm Military & 20 moa Addmount) I can just barely get to the charging handle latch, so I need a bigger latch! This scope sits nice and low on the rifle, just as I like it, with about 1/8" of room to spare between the top rail and the scope cover. I see that RRA is now offering the PRi GasBuster charging handle but I cannot tell if the latch is much, if any longer than stock. As it appears that the actual latch on the LAR-8's is just a standard AR-15 part (at least accoring to the part numbers listed on the RRA site) I could put on a larger latch such as the one from Badger Ordnance. I am sure others have run into this issue as well and am looking for suggestions. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFP2651 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I put an extended/bigger latch on mine easily. It was just a regular AR-15 part as you stated. Probably cheaper than getting a whole new charging handle, but I have read that the PRi GasBuster is a good handle as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
