    Looks to be a different design

    I see similarities with AXTS and BCM in this design. Mostly the in Raptor.

    Guys there's only so much you can do aesthetically to a charging handle, there are some that are bound to look similar to others.

    I'm sure it will fall in line with the rest of Geissele's excellent products.

    I don't understand that response. Is the Geissele rep saying they're unaware what a Raptor is? That wouldn't make much sense since there are Geissele branded Raptors.

    Anyway, just because they look similar it doesn't mean it's a copy. There's only so much you can do to the charging handle aesthetic. I'd be more interested to see how the actual mechanism works. And you'd probably have to disassemble them to see that.

    Agreed. Very classy response and like you, I'll continue to do business with both.

    If the Army ever gets around to releasing a RFP for the M4A1+, looks like Geissele is positioning themselves well for it...Mk. 8 rail, new charging handle, their gas blocks, their triggers, all from one manufacturer.
