Hey everyone, it has been a while since I have posted. It wont be long until I start buying some more parts. My questions are about charging handles.
Is there any charging handles on the market today that are a replica Vietnam era M16 charging handles? If so, who are they and where can I find them? I have seen the one Nodak has. I'm trying to figure out (with my untrained eye) what is the difference. My first two builds are going to be 603, 629 and a 723 or 733. If you can tell me what I should be looking for in a charging handle that would be great. I'm still learning and I know my rifles will not be 100% at first. I do want to try and get them as close as I can afford to and enjoy them at the range. |

Other than color, was there any design change in what is used today? I thought one could just re finish a new one? There is no difference, and there are enough grey ones out there that you really don't need to refinish a black one. Just keep an eye on the EE and Gun Broker, and you should be able to find a nice original Colt grey handle for $25-40. |

So are you saying the ones that I am seeing (standard charging handles) on sites like PSA and Cheaper Than Dirt. They are and would be correct? I keep looking at the one in my M4 build and I can't tell the difference. |

I might have just saved myself 18-20 bucks then. I will only use the regular charging handle and not the extended release one. Thanks! |
