I see it has a bit more room under there for your finger to flow into when grabbing it.

Yikes Judochop, that's quite the paint job on your FS - does it shoot faster like that?

milspec anodizing is taking a week longer than first thought, these little bundles of pure tuffness are almost complete. I shot mine last weekend in an informal competition with 20 of my closest buddies, FLAWLESS operation... The FS2000 is rock solid reliable....

I want one!

I want one. Dumb question coming: Will installing it void the warranty?

I don't see how it could.. To install/remove the charging handle claw you just use OREA 892 punch that came with your fs2000, push the roll pin out, then line the hole up with the body and reinsert the roll pin.

If you worry about the warranty, just keep your factory front claw, and replace it if you need to send the rifle in.

My bad

Guys just use IMs and you'll get your answers.

However, reviews and after action reports are still ok here, and I plan I writing one when I get a handle, as I have been waiting for someone to make these for 3 years.

while I agree with the policy, I must say that it makes for interesting discussion, when people bring new products to the market and share it with tech forums. Its in the tech forums where dreams can be realized, solutions can be offered, and the snake oil can be seen for what it is. the replacement charging handle is a solution not a business venture, there isn't any MONEY to speak of really. I thank AERO and AR15 for letting the little people like myself display their solutions to problems that are widely documented, with out going overboard to make their point.

Posted: 10/5/2010 12:23:12 PM EDT

[#28]

Show it off, review it, take it apart, and put it back together. All that is excellent.

Just don't overtly market here.

Anyone with a lick of sense can figure out how to contact another person that shows something here that they want to buy. It's really not hard.

Posted: 10/8/2010 3:09:38 PM EDT

[#29]

WooWeee! These charging handles look very nice and the finish is excellent.

No reports from me just yet as I don't have time to break out the FS2K.

Can't decide if I want to install it now or just wait for the factory handle to break, if it ever does...

i just got mine as well, it's awesome... i installed it and will post a review shortly.

the white "Thing" on the bolt carrier group.. ejects and loads the weapon

hmmmmmm. That would be an expensive part to machine....probably not gonna do that one.....

also, i was thinking that if the switch were to be made of metal any malfunction, such as a doublefeed, could be cut in half by the switch. A plastic switch just bends the casing.
