    I don't get it? I don't see any problems that it is eliminating. You still have to break your cheek weld to charge the weapon. So to me it looks like a big, awkward, unnecessary, expensive piece of trash, that solves a problem that doesn't exist.

    Damn. Your friend can be convinced to spend $137 because of a 22 second video?

    Lemme whip something up in Windows Movie Maker real quick....

    Umm. Did you see the video? The graphics? Hear the music? That's cool shit to someone that browses Instagram pictures of guns and has never had to carry a gun for a living.

    Sounds like it's your friend's fantasy ride, and cheaper than tickets to Disney World.

    At least it's just a charging handle. Let him run it for a while and hopefully he'll figure out what a waste of money it is and put a regular charging handle back in.

    Maybe I have no imagination, but does anyone see an issue trying to clear certain malfunctions with that?

    On a personal note, good friends respect each others advice.

    Did you have to talk him out of a POS $500 AR too?

    With all the attention paid to charging handles, one might think they are used after every shot like a bolt action or a pump.

    I mean, get one that you can get a hold of. That's it. I don't understand the CH fetish.

    Nailed it! I was going to post a very similar remark.

    Going to bounce off what IG posted, chances are nothing we can say will deter the boy. If he isn't willing to learn from the mistakes of others than he is going to have to learn the hard way. Sadly the road to a practical carbine is paved with discarded over priced junk that is of dubious use and cheap shit that is of no use.
