I am working on my 10-22 build, I am modifying as many of the stock parts as I can.

I've been working on a charging handle and I may have overlooked one thing. Weight.

Can you guys help me out?

Weight of a stock 10-22 charging handle assembly complete with guide rod and spring?

Weight of aftermarket charging handle assembly, possibly one of the Superior Concepts assemblies?

I want to make sure I don't get weird failures from a charging handle that is either too light or too heavy.

Thanks all
 
I made some that are 3-4 oz more than factory and use a exta power spring,works just fine even with subsonics.
 
I weighed just the handle before modding, I didn't weigh the rod or spring but the rod doesn't move so you can definitely leave that out.
Thread is here.

As 999 points out, it's probably not that critical.
IMO, off-axis extra mass along the length of the handle will cause more wear as it torques the accelerating bolt so try to minimize that.
