This one is probably 6 years old and on a work gun so it has seen a lot of use.  Not really sure what happened yesterday.  I was shooting and the ch started bouncing off my nose.  Snapped the little hook on the latch.

Nope, never have broke anyone's charging handle and I have been carrying this platform of gun since I went in the service in '79

Weakest link. Bound to happen sometime.


I read a thread once where the end that slides over the gas key snapped off. Unsure of maker.

Never broke one myself.

I think I will contact them.  I honestly don't expect them to replace it though.   Things wear out after a while.  I have no hard feelings towards them.

They're waiting to hear from you.

Yup.  Right directly on the latch which broke the roll pin.  I brought it BCM's attention

as a fighting charging handle weak point...and they addressed the issue with a much

improved design now.  BCM is all I use.

Got an email from bravo today with a return number.  They're replacing the charging handle.  Solid company.

You would think this would always be harmless, and I expect most of them are, but I saw a guy have his nose get all kinds of jacked up from his M16A2 when his latch broke.    Ran around looking like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer for about a week.

No idea how he managed that.
