The right side lever when retracted, does not pivot the latch open. The left side lever retraction does move the latch open. The latch is free to move with the right lever retracted, but it doesn't move unless some other force acts on it and pushes it out, like gravity or the step in the upper receiver. Below is a photo with the right side lever fully retracted. Is this how this is supposed to work?

That is the correct function. Green0 has talked about it in the suppressor forum when someone else asked. Something about a patent.

OK thanks it just seemed odd. I suppose that must be why the latch on the charging handle is more rounded than others.
