In the process of updating a budget used parts NEA 15 build I did earlier this year and the last thing I need to change out is the charging handle latch.

The one I have is an Armadynamics ACLM charging handle which is supposed to be ambi but when the bolt is back it does not function as an ambi and can only be left hand charged.

There don't appear to be any just "latches" for sale in the LGStores in Calgary and I would prefer not to buy a whole new charging handle so I am just looking for a good quality ambi latch with one roll pin hole that I can switch out on my existing charging handle if possible.

Any first hand recommendations for one of these would be greatly appreciated.

Preference would be for one that is a bit larger and more elevated on the right side than most factory ones as I have big mitts and the NEA forward assist housing is quite bulky and square and sometimes gets in the way.

The optics are a forward mounted Strikefire with MBUS sights so no scope to worry about.

Many thanks in advance.

My two cents...

Having shot many 3-gun matches in my young life I've come to the conclusion that an enlarged charging handle is more of a PITA than it's worth.
A good quality standard handle is more than sufficient/efficient.
My large, uber tactical high speed low drag charging handle does more to stab me in the back or solar-plexis (depending on how I sling my rifle) than it helps with speedy charging.
At most of the matches I've shot you start with your rifle "hot" when you start with your rifle and well... If you have to pick it up "cold" mid stage there's usually a time/place to load and charge before you have to begin engaging targets.
 
Skip the latch... Raptor is the only way to go... It is nowhere near as large as the others, never catches on gear, is built like a tank and is truly ambi. A few bucks, but worth EVERY penny. OST usually has them.
