I just received an ambi charging handle in the mail that would not quite fit either of the mil spec uppers I have. It would slide in and drop into place but not charge forward. I measured it compared with the charging handle I have that does work fine. The machined guides on the handle did not align with the slot in the upper so after about 20 minutes of filing and fitting, I got it to work perfectly.
My filing marks are now bright metal. Should I finish them with some sort of coating or just keep them well-lubricated? Thanks in advance! My first and second builds are almost complete! Looking forward to sharing the pics! Garland in VA |

Thanks for the links to the touch-up liquid!
I certainly prefer to buy quality products that fit properly.....but I'm a newbie and don't know all the preferred parts manufacturers yet. But I figured before I could box it back up, call for return authorization, drive to the nearest post office and wait for a replacement, I could spend a bit of filing time to make it fit. Believe me, I'm 100% with you on this topic! Thx, Garland |
