I have a Colt M16A1 upper that I put on a Sendra lower. I have it all ready but I lack a charging handle. My question is what would be period correct charging handle for an M16A1 from the 70's? Also would a chrome carrier and bolt be correct? This won't be totally accurate but I want to get as close as possible with it. Pics would be appreciated

thanks........

By the 70s they had regular gray charging handles and parked bcg

Standard gray anodized charging handle will be fine.

A '70's A1 would use a standard parked "C" marked BCG, as per Ekie's Retro Guide.
