AXTS Raptor Ambi Charging Handles, 5.56 and 7.62

[JayFlip]

I have the original Rainier Arms version. Works great, but I have a question:
Does the black finish wear off the sides of the main slide piece on everyone else's? It's done that on the one mounted on my DD MK18. Got a Raptor on an NEA as well, but haven't had a chance to break that one in yet. I'm expecting the same thing. Maybe this is normal?, but I didn't know what to expect.

(oh, and Yes, I did already lightly grease the sides of the Raptor handle slide. The finish still wore off.)

Yes. Comes off my BCM's as well. Especially if you're one-hand charging. Interestingly though, doesn't come off my stock norinco ones.

Raptors are amazing charging handles. Everybody should have one. Or more.

Rainer used to produce them, then AXTS took over.

I think AXTS always made them, they were just marketed through Rainier at first...

Funny you mention the finish coming off. I also have one in my mk18 and same thing happened to it. It looks like its been used for years. Really is only been in since November.

The charging handle works like a charm and I wouldn't go with other.
Like a boss!

Got them in all my AR15's and AR10 and they are a thing of beauty

Thanks! Got mine today and it fits fine on the Ruger SR762

Rainier never produced anything. It's the other way around.
