Out of stock now. Did anyone get one?

 

[FishnHunt]

I did, should be here Tuesday. Been thinking about this or a BCM Gunfighter for awhile. Thanks for the code.

I would rather have the Armageddon Tactical GSM-15(but that is just me)

 

[Huntinfool]

I grabbed one as well. With try to post up my thoughts on it, when it gets here

 

[vitamink]

I had one and hated it. Pinched the **** out of me all the time. Much happier with the BCM

I didn't get in on this but just bought one last night.

Damn I never knew such a thing existed. I've messed with the Raptor a few times and thought it was okay but for an ambi charging handle I'd rather have a BCM. But if I had an AR with a suppressor with some heavy blowback, this thing would be the ticket. I'll have to try one of those when I get a can for the ARs

I ordered it on 5/22 and it was in my mailbox on 5/24. Big to Primary Arms and that was shipped through the US Postal Service!

What was getting pinched? Fingers during manipulation? I haven't experienced any pinch yet during dry manipulation, but I haven't carried it around on a sling yet.

I hear a lot of people talking about blowback and how the charging handle is affected. If you are shooting a rifle length gas system with a 20" barrel with no type of suppressor at all, is blowback a concern? And if so, what is the best handle to use?

 

[vitamink]

If I had a working computer I could show this better. Notice how, when looking from the top, you can see the "ears" create a pinch point on the center of the handle? When I charge my ar, I have my thumb at that point. It kept biting me so I got a BCM instead. The BCM covers that pinch point and the mechanism is internal.

There isn't any issue with bliw-back with a 20" rifle lengbt. At least that is my experience

Blowback is only an issue with suppressed ARs. I've shot unsuppressed 7.5"-20" and never had an issue, but throw a can on it, and you'll probably take an eye hit.

Thanks. I will stick with purchasing a Gunfighter Medium then.
