Many say charging handles don’t matter.
I like the feel of the Raptor handle over the basic handle. It is more durable and sturdy.
I build my rifles to feel good in MY hands. I’m not a fan of the cheap fragile feel of basic components like charge handles, OEM plastic fore ends and standard buffers and springs.
All my builds get Raptor handles, free float or magpul forends and JP SCS buffers.makes for a solid, smooth and sturdy feeling rifle.
