I like the ideas about the double sided charging handle since I can see that being more effective if there's a hard extraction.
I was also thinking, (though it would take a bit of re-engineering) that a reverse-assist might work well if hard extractions are an issue. I don't think most brass will be an issue for .308 or 6.5CM, but steel might be. And there is some 7.62 surplus ammo out there that I've had hard extractions with in the past. In the long run, assuming no reversal of OIC, guns like the renegade are likely to be about as much fun as its possible to have, but I don't think we'll be feeding them like we do most ARs or 858s or M305s. We'll probably use better ammo and try to improve precision since each shot will count more. That being said, there's a ton of old surplus ammo that everyone's already stockpiled that we'll want to shoot. Gotta be able to do so without jamming. I'm looking forward to doing some experimenting myself!
