    I have a Badger Ordnance ambi charging handle that works fine. Just like a regular one but there is a trigger on both sides. Someone else is making one now, but I forget who.
    I too would recomend the Bad Ord model for this application; that said, you have to keep in mind that if you intend to activate it from the right side, this works a lot better with a VLTOR MUR or VIS type upper, since the forward assist is ever-so-slightly in the way on a standard upper. This is hardly a problem, but if we're talking optimization, it is something to keep in mind.

    I have the Badger Ambi Handle on two Stag left handed carbines. No forward assist problems since it is located on the left side of the upper.
