I have been having a lot of trouble with the Manticore Switchback Charging handle for the Tavor SAR. I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.

My handle has a lot of play near the handle section and runs against the gas block, and also scrapes the plastic guide slot, removing a lot of material from both. On top of that, even using blue loctite, the screws "walk" out and leave the handle with even more play, to the point where it won't lock forward. I have lost one of the original screws and now just lost the my spare. They literally just fall out while firing. Again, I loctite everything.

My Charging group slides straight out, no bending. On top of that, the rod itself doesn't appear bent. I'm not sure what is going on.

I've been trying to contact Manticore for months, but they won't return my emails or calls.

Probably going to have better luck here.

Sven from Manticore posts in there quite a bit.

Thanks. Couldn't find the bullpup section from the menu.
