    Leave as is or buy a BCM GUNFIGHTER Ambidextrous Charging Handle

    I have another Colt LE6920 as is and I plan to add very little to it, but I wonder if I should add a BCM GUNFIGHTER Ambidextrous Charging Handle? Or, the Model 4...?

    I'll have no scope on it to get in the way of the charging handle. My Magpul configuration LE6920's scope is located in such a way that getting to the charging handle was made easier with the Gunfighter Mod 4.

    Without a scope in the way, I'm not certain if the expense of the BCM charging handle will provide much advantage over the stock charging handle, but maybe I'm overlooking something.

    Thoughts!

    I'd buy the AMBI, but it on the scoped gun, and move the other handle to the non-scoped gun maybe. ??

    Actually, I had that thought too, but other than the Gunfighter charging handle having a somewhat/slightly easier latch to grab onto, what are it's other benefits?

    I don't see anything that comes immediately to mind, but again, perhaps I'm overlooking something...?

    The ambi handle is fairly pricey and this rifle is my 'keep it simple etc' rifle.

    If you feel the need to buy parts a new CH is an easy cure for that itch. That said, soldiers have been and are still using 'stock charging handles' to stay alive and win firefights.

    Airhasz,

    Thanks for your reply.

    That's kinda what I was thinking and no, actually I don't feel the need to buy new parts. That's something I'm resisting. Such as: I won't buy a new sling for it, when I can use the one (when I need to carry it) from my other AR. No optics of any kind.

    If there's no readily apparent benefit and with the Gunfighter C.H. I don't see much a one, other than it having a larger latch, I think I'm gonna pass - unless someone can point out an overlooked benefit of these costly C.H.'s...

    I've found my preference is to use a Mod 3 Gunfighter on my scoped ARs and a Raptor on the RDS equipped ARs. It took a little trial and error but I've settled into this configuration and really like it.

    discreet,

    Those Raptor look great, but $90.00 - UGH!

    Heck, I thought the BCB's were costly, but the Raptor's are waaaaaay out there in cost!

    P.S. They do look good though...

    The Raptors are in a league of their own when it comes to quality and construction......that is why they are priced where they are.
