Aftermarket WK180 charging handle

[Gatehouse]

Wasn't someone(s) making better/sturdier wk-180 charging handles? I've broken 2 (maybe 3) of them now and if someone made a better one I would try it out. Just replaced the gas piston too...Rifle is getting up there in age so I'm not upset about the piston but no need for the charging handle to be this feeble.

Looks great and if the bolt snaps I can probably just find a new one easy Thanks

What’s the reason for the bolt handles breaking? A guy I know has a 1st Gen WK and he’s had a couple break on him.

 

[Gatehouse]

I think they are just too small where they attach to the bolt carrier, maybe too rigid, as they screw in. The WS-MCR ones dont break but they just pop in, no threads. .

Spectre Ballistics used to sell one but they no longer have it on their website.

TNA makes an upgrade kit Gen 1 to Gen 2 which includes an upper, bolt carrier and Gen 2 style charging handle. Spendy though....
