ArizonaM4 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hey there fellow M4 peeps, I have a ~2009 Benelli M4 and in 2010 I got both a Carrier Comp Ti tube and Ti/Steel charging handle (pre black cerakote). I haven't changed anything on it in all of these years and haven't really even shot it much because I was out of the country for half of that time. As I was scrolling the forums, it seems that the CC Ti charging handle has appreciated handsomely in price! I heard $500 thrown around. I weighed the handle at 9.32 grams on a very accurate scale. Gold right now is $2024.90/oz Assuming my handle is made solid 24k gold, it is worth $606.75. So it is not worth it's weight in gold after all. haha! Pics below (The blue pic is not mine; it is to show the difference between handles). It has been on the gun for ~13 years, but only ~300 rounds or so. I'm definitely open to selling this extremely hard to find item for ~500. I understand I just made my first post today and it is a for sale thread, but I have an ebay account with 100% postive feedback with over 1k items sold.

Yeah, I don't know exactly, but this thing was the first of its kind and you know how people get about a certain brand or product and then the internet turns it into a big thing. They stopped making them something like 10 years ago and when they change hands these days, it is for ~500. So I guess it is due to the Kip Carrier fanboys and the extreme rarity. I will say it is a super duper nice part. You can't even tell where it goes from Ti to Steel. I bet they were pretty hard/costly to make. Everyone obviously loves his Ti tubes as well. I think I waited 6 months for mine, but back in the day sometimes the wait list was over a year. Lighter than the OEM part and WAY better feel! I don't know why I own a $2k shotgun either, but I love it too! Edited December 4, 2023 by ArizonaM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, this isn't helping! Look at some of the other gun forums / auction sites. 500 is pretty standard. Try to even find one for sale. Let me know if you do.

I feel so attacked..... 😭 Hey I'm retired and everything's paid for, I'm not gonna sit on my death bed wishing I had bought that Geissele hammer I'm gonna buy that shit! Good luck with your sale OP it is indeed a unicorn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhoi_fan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 IF you're serious about selling and not just screwing around I suggest you list it on ebay and/or gunbroker and see what the market will bear. I think you'll be surprised if you list it on ebay although it may sit there awhile. I have one but I won't be selling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I had one several years ago and had no interest in selling it until someone offered me 400 dollars for it around 2018. Used with minor scuffs and all. No regrets selling it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Doe Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I mean I get it. I am a bit of a bibliophile and have some pretty rare books that I have spent more on than this charging handle, so there are dumb people like me out there lol. But man I can't seem to bring myself to pay that much for that specific item. Good luck OP, hope you get what you want for it. Please keep us updated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
