Oversized Charging Handle Needed!

[Traildust]

Curious if anybody had this issue that I am having.
I have a flat top Ar with the A4 stock. I have a Nikon scope one it. The scope is set perfect for eye relief with the solid stock and the cheeck weld is perfect with low mount rings. I dont want to move the scope at all.

The problem I have is the scope sits too close to the charging handle. It is combersome to rack it back bare handed. You can only catch about a 1/4'' of finger meat to pull it back.

I have seen several oversized handles, but cant find any actual info on how much wider the handle is compared to the factory RR handle. I seems that if the handle was about a 1/2" wider on each side it would allow you to get a solid, stable pull on it.

Anybody have any suggestions that you know will work for me?

Cheers!

same problem on one of mine, i bought one of these and after getting it bought more
kinda pricey but i think worth it. BCM has some also

what i like about the Raptor is it's ambidextrous

Thats nice...kinda pricey, but if it fixes the problem. Do you know how much wider the T-handle is compared to a standard handle?

Interesting!...Looks like that would give you about 3/4" width past factory. Is the front side smooth or knurled?

[DavidS]

Not sure about the knurling. I run these on all my guns. It allows for easy one handed charging. I don't like the idea of getting the important digit too far away from the trigger!

Either the raptor as mentioned above or a variation of the BCM Gunfighter in mod 3 or 4.

From the images I was able to google, it looks like it is smooth. There are lots of mfg of these though. Google tactical latch and take your pick!
