I'm sick of all these "upgrades" and "replacement" parts. I litterally have bags of stuff that won't fit into guns...guys buy this steel part or that steel part, struggle with it and then leave it on the bench out of frustration or ambivalence. What a waste of money.
I really have no idea what "standard" rifle these guys are spec'ing their parts from. More than a few bright shiny steel parts just plain don't fit.
@ Danke...sorry...you'll have to compare it to the stock one and adjust either the charging handle or receiver to fit. You're going to have to look at all the dimensions. If it's going to weaken the part too much...just don't bother. I can't remember what a stock charging handle runs...but it's not much.
Personally...I've ever only broken 1...and that was from pounding on the receiver to set an overly tight gas block to a barrel (I should have taken the charging handle out of the upper). I've never broken one in usage. The other ones I've seen broken is where guys have had their bolt jam and they've tried to force the bolt with the handle (which it is not strong enough to do that).
Most bolt jams are from:
1. The bolt is hanging up on tip of the bolt release....just file it down a bit
2. The bolt is hanging up on the retainer cap that holds the buffer retaining pin in the lower receiver...mod the retaining cap/pin and use loctite to set it flush (retaining cap) with the receiver
3. The pin that holds the roller on the hammer is coming out...either flare the ends of the pin and/or put a slight bend into it and reinstall.
