Hello guys!  New to the group - thanks for the add.  I inherited a Colt 901 modular from my brother who passed away.  The gun is set up for 308 now but for some crazy reason, the charging handle was replaced with an after-market BCM handle for a traditional 308 and is too long.  He had numerous other AR-10s which I am in possession of; but, all of the others have their correct handle.  At any rate, I know the weapon is discontinued and that handle is proprietary to Colt.  Anyone know where I can find one?  I have tried all of the traditional sources but coming up short.  I was told my a gunsmith that the DPMS Gen 2 Gas Buster Charging Handle MIGHT work...  I emailed Precision Reflex who sells it but cannot get any response.  Any help would be greatly appreciate!

Colt is producing the M7, so I'd give them a call and see if you can purchase a replacement.

Sorry for your loss.  When you call, be sure to lead with your brother's passing.  A little sympathy on their part might make the difference.

This. They are in production, the difficult part is getting a replacement part out of Colt. The charging handle interface with the upper receiver is different on these than any of my other ARs, it has a sort of rail on one side and a nib on the other.
