    I find the Fal folding charging handle is faster than the AR charging handle.

    Neither style prevents me from shooting the rifles though

    On the subject of charging handles for ar15 rifles, why don't companies make FAL/XCR/REPR charging handles for ar15 uppers?

    I can see how it would also be possible to create an ACR/masada charging handle for the ar15 by shortening the existing ar15 CH design and have it stick out the left side of the receiver. That design would probably have carbon blowing out the receiver, but I'm sure something can be figured out.

    yeah.......$425 for a stripped upper. It also has that dumb folding handle which I don't agree with. I'd rather buy a $45 BCM and call it done.

    ....Or a $20 badger latch.....

    If I learned one thing in the firearms world, it's that you never find the perfect firearm because you'll always find something else to complain about.

    I wonder if car enthusiasts argue whether the gear shift should be on the center console or the steering column.

    I have the Badger Tactical latch and it works great. I didnt see the need to spend the extra money on a whole new charging handle with an extended latch like the BCM (although I'm sure it works great)

    I have broken two standard charging handles with extended latches installed on them in the past.

    Just get the BCM GunFighter Mod4 CH and be done with it. It is the most refined, heaviest duty charging handle available on the market.

    I also like the PRI GasBuster w/their "CombatLatch", but not at nearly twice the price of the BCM.

    hmm... you know, all the times i've come across that link, and passed it on myself, i've somehow never actually looked at the price tag. $425 does seem a little shocking..
