Very curious about that as well?! And if not, any eta on charging handles alone ?
We were having a problem with getting the guide rods from Kidd. We have found a different supplier and I actually think these may be better because we have them made to our dimensions with a slightly smaller 'mushroom' on the end so it doesn't interfere with the bolt as it travels rearward, as well we had them cut a groove for the E-clip to capture the spring on the rod as a single unit (like the factory Ruger unit) for ease of installation and removal.
For the charging handle itself we only make the barrel type for now but can do a run of the paddle style in the future I suppose. We discontinued them because it is difficult to engrave them on the curved portion and would end up scrapping batches because of it. I do have about 50 of the skeletonized paddles we made. Same shape and profile as the maple leaf ones but with a cut out in the middle :

I will load these onto the website this afternoon in kits with the new guide rods.
