I don't have a Raptor but I haven't noticed much blowback.. Sig "upgraded" mine to the the newer charging handle. Can't remember if it had much blowback before or not.

Want to sell the Raptor? I love mine on my AR's and MPX.

FWIW - I don't have any blowback in any of my CH. That's any i've received from SIG or the Radian ones I have. Raptor like this?  Attached File |

@coregon
Thats the one. Mine has some very minor differences, like Radian's logo vice Sig's, and it doesn't have "LT" after Raptor. Im going to have to shoot it back to back with my original stock handle. It shocked me, the MCX isn't very gassy to begin with. I'll bring a few different cans, too. |

If I have the Raptor in, I can see a single coil of spring below the right side roll pin. This is an original (non-recalled carrier), so I wonder if the back plates are different lengths.
With the OEM installed, the latch helps cover that area. |

@coregon or even someone else
If you have a Raptor charging handle on your MCX with a "new" carrier, can you compare what you see with my pic where you can see a coil of the spring? No pics necessary, I'm just wondering if the retaining plate on the new carrier is different enough to cover that gap. |

I just want to replicate your exact setup. Ill snap some pics of your replicated setup, as well as others, just for comparison. |

OK - so snapped a few pics. You're right @JAG2955 - there's definitely a gap with the Radian CH. All pics below are with the BCG removed, so you can easily see if there is/is not a gap.

Does the updated carrier fill that gap?
