Just saw a post showing the Freedom Fighter 3/4 H20 charging handle jacking up his receiver. Anyone had this issue?

I’ve been meaning to post my not so scientific bolt handle comparisons for a while.  I’ve been slacking but this seems like the perfect thread.

In the photo below we have FFT NP3 steel charging handle, Benelli M4 OEM, KZ NP3 steel charging handle and a new revision TTI charging handle.

By measuring with calipers I gathered some rough data.  I measured from receiver facing side of the handle to the end of the shaft where it engages the detent inside of the carrier.

Take these figure with a grain of salt but I believe they are a pretty close representation.

Again this is from the receiver end of the handle (the part where the shaft begins) to the end of the shaft. In inches.

FFT:  1.172 

BM4 OEM:  1.184

KZ:  1.19

TTI:  1.21

My motivation for doing this was due to the fact that I perceived the FFT handle to sit quite close to the receiver.  I noticed that if I inserted it with a little too much force it comes in contact with the receiver.  This is not a knock against FFT or their handle.  It’s just my personal experience and one could even say possible operator error on my part.  In any event I wasn’t comfortable with the close proximity of the handle to the receiver.  Todd sells oodles of these.  Just some food for thought.

As you can see from these examples in this particular “experiment” I found the TTI handle to have the most clearance or buffer if you will.

The 1/2” is slightly better.....adds character Lol, but it could be an ejection mark

Not to derail but I really like the checkering on the FFT bolt release.  I just wish he had made the screw hole off set like the GG&G release.  See how the FFT version slightly overlaps the bevel on the receiver.  I like how the GG&G version allows for some space there if you choose.  Just my opinion.
