NoTycoon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Arms Unlimited has the M4 oversize charging handle on sale for $10. I picked one up last time they had the sale and love it. I would have purchased two but they only had one left in stock. Glad to see them back. https://www.armsunlimited.com/AU-Large-Bolt-Charging-Handle-for-Benelli-M4-p/lb-m4-bch.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mílton Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 hello, can I use the Bolt Charging Handle for Benelli m4, the same to use on the m3? or are they different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdog19 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 One-Up on ya' Tycoon. For 10 clams plus 3.95 for shipping, I had to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) I think it's the same as this one but at a much better price. I believe Botach makes these under their KZ brand. Maybe not, they both show different steel compositions? https://botach.com/kz-benelli-m4-ergonomic-3x-oversized-charging-handle/ Edited February 16, 2020 by Milspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPC Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Ordered, little to lose. I also like that the end which engages the bolt assembly is an uninterrupted “lip”, not a three-lobe design as in other aftermarket designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey d Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Anyone above run this handle with a high round count? Curious if it’s holding up. Any inertia weight issues, breakage? The pictures of the two shown of Botach and this vender are exactly the same image. TIA Edited April 1, 2020 by mickey d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'zaster Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks, NoTycoon! Just ordered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCswamp13 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Mine came in today, i ran about 12rds of field loads and about 3 3" turkey loads, no issues. I love the feel of it and if it holds up I'll be content with it as permanent charging handle....I'll keep yall posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey d Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I ordered both charge handles, one from Botach and the one from AU The AU handle is larger in diameter and weighs .07 oz (30 grains) less than the Botech as it is machined deeper into the end. The Botach is slightly longer. I like them both, but prefer the length of the Botach handle will run it first to see how it holds up. I don’t know it the reciprocal weight difference will have any affect on how it holds up. The three shown are AU, Botach, Freedom Fighter 1/2” steel. The AU and Biotach feel very secure like the OEM handle. The FF handle can pull out without having to twist it. Didn’t like that. Also comparison with stock Benelli handle.

Evolution Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Good reviews guys. I jumped at the AU handle when I saw that it was 10 bucks. When I got it I immediately noticed that it is not the same handle as shown on their site. The pic they have on their site is exactly the same model that Botach has on their site for the Kley-Zion. Check it out. The one you get from AU is the fatter version than their picture. Anyway, I'm good with it unless it happens to fail. I did compare my OEM handle to it under a magnifying glass and the cuts on the nib and angle/size of the chamfer at the end of the nib are identical to the OEM which made me happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'zaster Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Thanks for the comparison pictures, mickey d. Mine arrived yesterday. Fits great. We'll see if any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to help. The AU handle is a great bargain. I happened to order the KZ from Botach first before NoTycoon shared the bargain deal. Had to compare for the money. Best to you.

No. 6 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 After multiple ordering attempts, it finally took and hopefully will be on it's way to me soon. Too good a deal to pass up even though my 14" is in NFA jail for awhile.... Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncommonsense Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 It appears the Arms Unlimited oversize charging handle on their website nowadays is the same as the Kley Zion from Botach, based on the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DekNgo Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) @NoTycoon / @NCswamp13 / @mickey d / @Evolution / @D'zaster How are these Arms Unlimited charging handles holding up?

NineInchNails Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Price has since jumped to $15 and $5.95 for shipping (at least for me). Oh well, just placed an order. Best deal I've ever seen for such a charging handle with the features I want. I like that it is non-rotating (free spinning) and is as large in diameter as shown in the pics.

KCshooter Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Just got my M4 and was curious if anyone had more feedback on the AU charging handle? Making an upgrade list and maybe there will be some Black Friday deals! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineInchNails Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I wasn't in the market to pay nearly $50-$90 for a charging handle so the AU was a perfect fit for me. It looks better in person. Pics don't do it justice. I thought I'd prefer a more cylindrical version like what RX Arms makes, but I'm more than satisfied with the hour glass shape of the AU version.
