Charging handle won't "fit"

[nicaburns]

I may do the same thing, but no real need. Since you made me see the light, I have stocked up on CHs. I have at least 5 that I have no immediate need. I know I have 2 BCMs still in the package and several loose in the junk box.

I am glad I could contribute to the madness

If you compare the two can you see any differences? Weird.

It does look like the Geissele is just a tiny bit larger on one side. But that's probably all in my head since I am looking for a flaw?

Send it back to Geissele.

I had a Aero upper that came with a Strike Ind. charge handle that I got from a fellow ODTer. I swapped the Strike out for a BCM handle. But the BCM would not lock in. I ended just stoning off a little material on the upper to get the CH to lock in.

I bet geissele will make it right, no matter where it came from.

Had a member that wanted it so I sold it to him. He went home and it popped right in to his upper. He later sent me an article that it is a common thing w/ CMMG uppers...

I hadn’t heard of that. Good info, thanks.

Surprised it took that long for someone to say this.

The AR-10 charging handle is slightly longer and beefier...if it is the same length as the BCM then you do indeed have an out of spec CH and if the GS is longer then you have a AR10 CH...which is what I'm in need of if you find that it is and want to sell it...thanks
