I started this string to find an extended charging handle. But then after I psted it a nd went to my next college class(no computers) an idea hit me. What if I tried reaching for the charging handle from the bottom up? Tried it out when I got home and it worked like a charm. So thanks to everyone for their advice and sorry for the trouble.
Now I  just need to borrow a digital camera(can't afford to buy one now) and take some photos of rifle to post in my hometown forum.

Bravo (above) has the PRI ($90), but there is a Industry forum where ya price CHs from many dealers.......

I use the Badger Tactical latch. You can charge the weapon with your left hand and as the latch sticks out to the left of the upper, it should work with a scope.

looks like everyone is out of stock for the time being of the pri big military latch.
