I want one of these! I'm still on spouse probation from buying my scope, though.... Damn the luck!

Glad to see the positive reviews. I am currently building an AR for my gf, and I am taking the opportunity to test out a few add-ons and upgrades, and the Raptor is the one I have been most looking forward to.

Nicely done on the video. I switched out the BCM GF Mod 4's on both my AR's for Raptors. I ran one of them during a 2 day carbine class in the spring. It's rock solid.

I love my Raptor Ch. I shoot left handed and it was one of the best upgrades for me besides the Battle Arms ambi safety.

FWIW, I prefer the Raptor to the BCM Ambi. I have both. But the BCM works fine. I just like the bigger latches on the Raptor, and it seems simpler.

Ordered one today. Thanks!

I have to agree that the Raptor is the finest charging handle on the market today. Feels so solid and allows the user to manipulate it any way you choose. Rainier Arms has never disappointed me with anything of theirs that I've used. My 16" Select barrel is outstanding.
