[mildot]

Pretty good YT review IMO, looks like a good piece of kit. You be the judge?

there was a thread on CGN, seems like a lot of people like them

As a lefty shooter, I love mine!

I'd be interested in one and see how it works in my Adcor upper.

On some ADCOR uppers it's a bit tight but yes it works. You need to oil it and rack the charging handle a number of times before it smooths out. Then it's good.

Yes they work well. Very slick design. I added them to my ADCOR rifles and my Stag 2T.

I have one on my M15 and sons Stag L3.

Really good product.

Is this what you are trying to say:
"She's tight cause you have to lube the shaft before given her the old reach around"?

Is it normal for new charging handle bottom side to grind with the rifle surface? I installed a BCM gun fighter mod 4 on LMT upper and it grinds a bit left scuff on the rifle.

This box is shipping out to a client, but lots more Raptors in stock

 

[Trinimon]

WOW! That client must have a lot of ARs or these break very easily. lol

These are the best charging handles on the market. I've used them all. This and my Geissele tigger group are the two things that will always be in my AR's.

My stock unit felt and looked like a discarded umbrella handle. I have the Rainer on both my AR uppers. They may be overkill but there's no question of quality and function. Operated from either side, the handle performs like a piece of precision machinery and is just what I need against that army of paper and steel targets.

Noted thanks. Some fresh frog lub should do the trick.

The beauty of the Adcor upper is that if the CA is a little tight at 1st, you can always use the front CA
