This is from the retaining spring-clip on the charging handle. I'm thinking it should be normal, but I want to make sure.

This AR still has very little use. I am keeping the area well-oiled.

are you a lefty by any chance?
I'm a southpaw and I notice that, that spot in particular often suffers slightly more wear than other people due to the nature of the charging handle design. I have an ambi setup on some of my rigs and not on others.

either way no biggie at all.

No, righty. Interesting observation, though.

I wasn't aware of an ambi setup. I'll have to see what that looks like, out of curiosity.

If it bothers you Birchwood Casey's "alumablack" will bring it back to black. :)

mine is worn down way more than that... as long as it latches, its fine.

That looks new compared to mine.
Guess I need to break out the sharpie pen for a 'refinish'.
