Stag 10 charging handle help

[robab]

Hi all
Picked up a nice ambi charging handle off a guy on here. He took it off his BCL 102.

Doesn’t seem to fit in my stag 10 properly. Any suggestions ?

It fits in but won’t fully seat. And the catch in the pull tab won’t lock into the upper receiver ?

Anyone experienced anything similar.

not sure that part is supposed to be compatable. if it is, well, that sounds like BCL quality

Those three upper case letters should be self explanatory.

I have another AR10 handle on the way, with any luck it'll fit. Any other suggestions or comments welcomed.

BCL has or had a habit of building some parts to 'their specifications' over the years instead of to 'industry standards'.
so your BCL ambi charging handle is one of those items.
it looks real close to a normal AR10 charging handle.... but its not exactly the right specs.
if you google search it you'll find a couple people who ran into the same issues.

pick up any after market AR10 charging handle and it should work just fine in your STAG.
i went with the Raptor (to be exact: Radian Raptor LT Ambidextrous Charging Handle (308 AR-10 SR25))(True North Arms)
paid just shy of $100 for it and its runs like a top!

The LR-308 is also frequently referred to as DPMS/SR-25 Pattern. AR-10 is the model designation of the Armalite AR-10 large frame 308 AR/AR 308 class of semiautomatic rifles. Both rifle platforms share many parts but they are not completely interchangeable.
