[ARCHIVED THREAD] - is this a LMT charging handle

Posted: 3/9/2006 8:11:35 PM EDT

the c/h on the left I got at a gun show and may be a LMT, the one on the right is a common gun show RRA, Model 1, M&A, ect. The picture didnt do like I wanted but can you see the red circles. The machining on the left one is more beefy.

here is a bigger pic.

the one on the left here is a Colt and the one on the right is the unknown.

What would be the difference in value? $10?

I have no idea but I have to be the first to say Who cares.

Im glad you dont care. I just want to know if its a LMT or not for my own knowlage. This is not about whos c/h is better than the others. Dont start. There is enough of that going on already.

I have three that I know for sure are LMT. I will compare them to your pic when I get home.

I only have one LMT CH which is on my LMT carbine and the machining on mine that you shown with the red circles are narrower than yours.

Mine looks more like your Colt sample.

I also have one each of Colt, CMT and RRA CH.

Your unknown is different with all that I got.

I checked the three LMT's that I have, and none looked similar to either of yours. Sorry.

PAUL at bravo company might know email and ask him to check your post!

I have a LMT14.5 upper but I think it has a CMT charge handle wich is better than Bushmasters?

Quoted:

I am not able to identify the actual supplier of the handle pictured above.
We have carried CMT and LMT charging handles in the past and I could not tell the difference between the two. Both were a very high quality.

The only info I can offer on the two handles pictured above is to notice the wall thickness of the entire handle in the area where the gas key would travel. The model on the left apears to be more stout (judging simply from the picture). The model on the left is most likely machined from a forging. If it is heavier than the other, then the other may be machined from an extrusion.
