There were a lot of bad magazines, though.<br /><br />The big problem with the M16 is that it is not idiot proof. I saw many soldiers who did not know how to operate or maintain their weapon properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-75460924964947922362010-07-30T18:44:57.796-05:002010-07-30T18:44:57.796-05:00I have NEVER had a problem with my charging handle...I have NEVER had a problem with my charging handle. In more than 25 years of Army service in Combat Arms, I've NEVER had a problem with the M16/M4 charging handle.<br /><br />The B Co charging handle is nice, especially with the large finger grip. I'm going to install one on my incoming DPMS AP4 .308/7.62. However, I truly believe the 50 beans spent on it is better spent on ammo and/or silver.<br /><br />The Bravo Company charging handle is the answer to a non-existent problem.<br /><br />DAN<br />IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-58822385735868985232010-07-30T18:41:23.747-05:002010-07-30T18:41:23.747-05:00$50 is cheap, considering that these charging hand...$50 is cheap, considering that these charging handles apparently also act as a "gas buster" if you're using a suppressor.<br /><br />One of these is going on my build.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-29002979881496924452010-07-30T16:36:01.917-05:002010-07-30T16:36:01.917-05:00My old Colt SP1 has never had a hiccup in 30 + yea...My old Colt SP1 has never had a hiccup in 30 + years of service.Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261415021692766579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-45638604217548595862010-07-30T15:30:37.390-05:002010-07-30T15:30:37.390-05:00Fifty dollars is a good investment over a .10 cent...Fifty dollars is a good investment over a .10 cent roll pin. <br /><br />And while you have that bolt / carrier assembly out to replace the charging handle, take an extra couple of minutes to tap out your SOLID extractor pin and replace it with a ROLL pin. The solid pins can, and do, break on rare occasion. A roll pin is quite a bit beefier. <br /><br />MikeH.<br />IIIMikeH.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11511925756474067012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-13105924740221745152010-07-30T15:04:37.901-05:002010-07-30T15:04:37.901-05:00Haven't had a charging handle failure yet but ...Haven't had a charging handle failure yet but dang it, $50 seems kind of steep.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729668431704770827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-22577116280533142852010-07-30T14:26:29.492-05:002010-07-30T14:26:29.492-05:00Ahh the Stoner Rifle in all its glory.
