Hi all. I believe I initially posted this into the wrong thread so I'm moving it here.

I'm looking for more information on this charging handle. I'm aware that they either don't make them anymore or haven't been making them for a while. However I was looking to get a little more information on them on the off chance I could possibly find a second hand listing for one somewhere.

There seems to be a few different models of them. The one that I am finding in stock online in some places is this one

However I'm looking for the one with the knurled handles like this

My question is how might I go about sourcing one of these? It seems they are both under the "Avalanche Mod 2" moniker but I can only find the former.

As I understand it the handles themselves have interchangeable grips on them, so theoretically I could buy the first one and then find the grips elsewhere. But I haven't been able to do that either. I know I'm going out on a limb here but I really love the design of the CH. It's very simple but sharp and that's why I want one, I think it would really add to my build

Thanks for any help
