I prefer Vltor medium latch charging handles over any other, by far. Several months ago I built an AR-10, but still need the charging handle. Regularly searched for a Vltor LF-4 but none in stock. I emailed Vltor and they won’t give an ETA.  

Anything remotely close to the Vltor that anyone would recommend?

It took me all of 20 seconds to type vltor in google, open the first link that popped up, choose products related to the AR, and click charging handles.

Put some effort into it next time

Lol, right. And if you read the Op, they already stated it is out of stock on their website that you linked. 🙄

Op, I'd grab the one from VT supply that TGWLDR linked above. I know they are solid vendor IME. (Eta. Looks like they are on back order too, I'd try the other Mountsplus vendor).

Vltor mod 4 charging handles are my go-to handle, ever since BCM dropped their collaboration with them(the old BCM Gunfighter CH).

I also have had great CS with VTS.

I have always e-mailed them to confirm in stock status, and they have always gotten back to me at the end of the day.

Bit of a necrobump but it looks like they’re back in stock on Vltor’s site.

Still my favorite charging handle.
