Airborne Charging Handle (ACH)

The Airborne Charging Handle (ACH) was developed at the request of an elite organization famous for its expertise in aerial insertion. The organization requested a lower profile lever design to reduce the chances of snagging. The ACH’s lower profile desig

Marketing bullshit: "A taller fence at the rear of the ACH aids in redirecting gas blow back when shooting with short barreled and suppressed weapon systems."

Yeah, right. They don't say it FIXES the problem (doubt it), it merely "AIDS". I've had excellent results with my cheapo $12-$15 ambi-CH from no-name land, and the Latchless one with gas redirect, also probably in the same price range. I'd go with the latchless again in a hearbeat.

Mine looks just like the Strike Industries - without any names or logos...I'm looking for a source...

LOL! Imagine thinking that a knockoff Strike Industries is better than a real Geissele.

 

[Shemp]

Man, I loved that 2nd gen Cummins you used to have.

IDK if you saw but I totaled my old daily Accord that I met you at your job in that one time. I still miss that thing....

I also very much miss my Cummins. Very,very much.

Ok, get the Geissele...I buy their triggers, just not the rest of the expensive bullshit. YMMV.
I didn't say it was BETTER - just probably same in effect.

Shooting suppressed?

 

[Axeman]

Shooting suppressed?

Can I borrow yours? Mine's still in "jail", but I 've shot suppressed before and smelled gas with and without can on ARs...but my setup I smell no gas at all...leads me to believe it'll be pretty good.
If not, I'll happily recant.

There's a reason that their stuff is "expensive." I've never owned or handled anything Geissele that didn't ooze quality. They don't need to put out a bunch of "marketing bullshit" their stuff is gonna sell regardless because they put a ton of time and money into R&D. If they say that their products do something, you can bet that they do it, and they do it very well.

Cool. It's your money. I know how much of MY money I want to devote to something as trivial as a CH.

I spent $96. For a multitude of reasons though. Some just bc I'm snobby like that. Lmao

Who said anything about smelling gas, helps with blowback

You guys are putting gas in your ARs?

The gas smell is a symptom of the problem of an overgassed rifle. At the CH it can be gun oil and carbon fouling sprayed in your face, or an eye-stinging cloud of vapor. This is the purpose of the gas redirect, and the "taller fence". Blocks that shit and sends it elsewhere.
Of course, if you have a properly gassed rifle, you shouldn't have these issues...

I think radian raptor is the mist expensive charging handles I use.

Yup. Got a couple Raptor LT. That's about as fancy as I get

I like them. Not sure what’s going on with a the fancy CH with suppressors, I don’t win a can so I figured it doesn’t matter.

Also have some Chinesium ones that I got for $5 and work great.

Got one of those (Long latch that I ground down to Med size before they were available) on my first build. Good CH, but more than I'll likely spend again - except on .308 handles - those damned things aren't cheap no matter what.
