I am a big fan of the new LMT CHs/Latches. They're the perfect in between size. I got rid of my badger because it would always, painfully poke me in the back. The BCM CH with the shorter latch looks nice too.

For those that want an improvement without an extension, the BCM Gunfighter Mod 5
That's also what I'm trying to avoid.and makes it twice as hard to jerk the charger back
I feel like you have to constantly apply some sort of lubrication (in my case it's lithium grease) in the charging handle receiver slot in order to reduce friction.
PRI M84 Gasbuster + Flat Latch is what I use in mine.
We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
BKB brings a good point. I use BCM MOD 4 I did get to try the badger big latch compared to mine side by side recently. The badger works for sure. But I did notice that the big latch did have more yaw side to side movement than the BCM Gunfighter the latch on the Gunfighter did seem to lock up better than the badger. IMHO the badger big latch was designed with one purpose and that was to put the biggest latch on the stock CH. The BCM Gunfighter CH was designed to correct the deficiencies in the original design.
ehhh.......If my job required me to shoot people for a living, I think I'd want a solid handle for quicker weapon manipulation. But what do I know........Not with the folding charging handle of the Fal
back to ar15 chaging handles.
I've noticed something with my CMMG charging handle.......it's bent just ever so slightly to the right......just barely. I know the bend is there, but if I look at the charging handle long enough, it goes away.
What is the life expectancy of ar15 charging handles/latch?
i've never seen any kind of life expectancy for charging handles. i have seen weapons that are 20+ years old, have been through multiple barrels, bolts, springs, etc, that still have their original chargers, however. it's not really a wear part.
