Derya TM-22 charging handles on Gun Post

[CanuckShooter]

Curious if anyone has tried the Derya TM-22 charging handles from the guy selling them on Gun Post. If so what's your impression?

They look really nice and well made, but from the pictures it appears that they ride awfully close to the side of the receiver which makes me apprehensive about grabbing one.

Thanks

Thanks, I don't use Facebook or any social media though.

I have one on my gun, looks good and better than the stock one. Dlask ones are more expensive because they have a steel insert.

No evidence of it rubbing against the receiver when it reciprocates? Any idea how much clearance there is in between?

the thread on the screw will chew up the alloy handle, internally.

Hmmm... Don't like the sounds of that.

If the handle was flopping around on there I would agree, but it is on there solid so I don't see it happening.

in any case, its only $35 , just buy another one.

the charging handle has two flats on the end that fit into the same shaped hole in the bolt.

i fear the screw will come undone under recoil.

That's what locktite is for. Use it on the charging handle have about 1500 rounds through the gun and has yet to come loose.

I bought mine from Dlask arms. It’s great.

if you say so but thats not what loctite is for. if you havta use loctite on a charging handle it tell ya that there is something wrong with the design.

I just re-torqued mine as it had come undone after maybe 250 rounds through it. I thought about loctiting it but didn't.

The DLASK design recommends LOCTITE on their product as well.

From DLASK website.

You will need to re-use the screw that secures the factory charging handle with a small dab of BLUE Loctite. Torque 23-26 in/lbs and let the Loctite set up before use.

That's alot of torque on a small fastener.

 

[mojoman]

I use a dab of blue and torque to 18inlbs, just make sure you get the handle in the hole in the bolt correctly.

250? interesting... i'd plan to tighten before every shooting.

honestly, i dont use loctite on something i need to remove, let alone on something like this that will be quite frequent. let me know how easy it is say after 3x.
