I took a range trip and brought the GSG-5 with me. Right out of the gate, my charging handle cracked and went flying down the range. It was a clean break. My gun isn't under warranty anymore. Does anyone know where I can get the screw-in charging handle. I'd like to have the GSG-5 version and the GSG-522 version if possible.

You can pick them up with a little research or you can order the retro kit from cdnn for $20 and it includes like 4 of them in the box or at least mine did.

Put a rubber bushing on the charging tube rod after you get your replacement handle (e.g., plumbing washer)
