Good evening everyone.
I am in the final stages of getting in material to produce a steel tang, titanium handle charging handle. I will be posting more details in this thread as they come. Titanium is ordered (Coming in from USA), and the steel tang will be stainless steel to prevent corrosion, RC 40, to prevent deformation from inserting and taking out the handle. This will be a locking charging handle.
CNC Precision made, has an outside diameter of 0.6" (5/8") which is in between the 3/4" and 1/2". Final product finish will be sand blasted for a darker grey natural titanium look. If you want to be notified when stock is in, please sign up at www.rxarms.com.
I am still settling on the design of knurl. I have read many feedback on all kinds of handles on these forums. I am probably going to settle on a more simple design like the previous carrier comp handle, but I will be testing a few designs first for grip of knurl, and also the force of pulling back on the handle, which may or may not attempt to rotate the locking handle. I do not want the handle to rotate, so the knurling and the notch design will be fine tuned to prevent this from happening.
Initial stock is going to be around 65 handles, as they are pricy to make. The next order size will be dependent upon the demand.
I know that the Carrier Comp handle is the unicorn of all M4 charging handles. My Goal in this, is designing this handle to be the best on the market.. Any and all feedback is welcome, so feel free to ask questions!
