[ARCHIVED THREAD] - DPMS G2 Ambi Charging Handle now available from Radian (AXTS)

Posted: 2/8/2018 10:17:41 PM EDT

Radian (AXTS) is now making their Raptor ambidextrous charging handle for the DPMS G2 small frame rifles, and it will also fit the Adams SF 308 and Zev Technologies SF-MATEN. https://radianweapons.com/radian-raptor-dpms. I have been waiting for this for quite a while-- order placed. :) It is sad that I had to find out this was available from the PSA PX10 thread.

Cool! Now where can we get them for less than $90 MSRP?

BTW, Norgon says they are coming out with a specific G2 ambi mag release some time this year.

EDIT: Order placed. At least I got free shipping. Didn't have a discount code.

EDIT 2: Radians is showing "out of stock" now. Hmm.

EDIT 3: It must have been in stock, because it shipped today

I missed this on Black Friday.

Any sales code for President's Day?

Ordered one last Sunday. Got it on Wednesday. I've been waiting for a G2 charging handle for 4 years. Great product for a scoped G2...

I merely put one of those extended latch handles on my stock piece, been working fine. I can see Ambi being usefull though.

I ordered mine on the 8th as originally posted and it is supposed to arrive on Monday via our very slow mail carrier. I have been waiting a long time for this CH too be made, too. I am curious to see if I will have to add RTV to the Raptor to reduce gas in my face with the Omega attached. It isn't bad with the original CH installed currently, so I have high hopes that I won't have to do anything to the Raptor.

Same. I think it cost me 17 bucks. I like the idea of the Raptor CH, but what I've got works.

Mine arrived yesterday. I like it.

Nice, any pictures of it installed guys?

My stocker is a tad irritating with a scope mounted.

The levers stick out more than the stock piece. I would call the levers length small-to-medium length.
Both right and left side are equal length. They are large enough to easily grip under a scope, but not so large that they would poke your back if slung.
I think that Radians got the design right.

This might be the ticket. I installed a Black Rain Ordnance handle on mine but it sticks out way too much.

I just wish BCM would make a small latch CH for the G2.

I haven't had time to go to the range to try it yet, so I have no idea about gas levels when suppressed. But I can post a couple of pics showing its relative size. It is definitely larger. It is still inboard of the forward assist on the starboard side but time will tell if the port side is too large or not. I suspect it will be similar to the smaller AR15 CH's and will be an excellent addition to the G2.

Looks great Fullauto.

Thanks for taking the measurements, looks like it will work great.

Just ordered one. For $90 I hope it's nice.
