Which Ambi Charging Handle?

Thanks for posting the side-by-side comparison. Any rear BUIS interference with the taller gas lip?

Airborne is better than the BCM gunfighter in every way. Better texturing, the curvature is more ergonomic, the latches are smoother to actuate (ESPECIALLY the right side latch), and the gas buster lip is larger. I think the Airborne is $10 or so more but if you’re the type of person to spend that kind of money on a charging handle it’s a negligible difference IMO.

I prefer the BCM over the Airborne. My finger doesn't feel as secure on the Airborne, the angle makes your finger roll away.
Raptor is still the best when shooting as an actual lefty.

I love my Airborne. Granted I didn't need it but had some spare cash laying around when G put them on sale.

None. I use MBUS Gen 2 (the big clunky polymer ones) and there's no interference. My dad's kino has the ACH pictured and there's no interference with the MBUS Pro rear. The lip interfaces nicely with the upper receiver.

If using Magpul's Pro LR rear, yes, there is interference.

I find it hard to believe a person who has been here this long, wouldn't know how to use the search feature and the multiple discussions which have taken place about the various ambi-handles.

Ouch IG. Very ouch.

I did search, including using Google with "site:m4carbine.net (search topic)" and was unable to find anything recent. Opinions change with times and I was looking to get current information.

I have one of the older BCM Mod 4's and a 2 of the new BCM Mod 4's. It took me awhile to warm up to the new version, but now I really like it because of its low profile. None of my BCM CH are ambi. I recently got a Geissele Airborne and absolutely love it! I don't think either is a bad option, it all comes down to your personal preferences. It helped getting the Airborne CH for 30% off too!

I have the Geissele super on my current build and love it. I have not had any experience with the ACH yet but it will go on my new build. I also like the raptor, but geissele won over for me.

I am all for the Geissele airborne, no issues and love it.

I have had both the BCM and Geissele but I prefer the Raptor.
