I have wondered for a while now what the obsession is with all the modifications done to charging handles and their locking mechanisms.
I normally buy whatever BCM wants to sell me when I do a build, but I have a Strike Industries charging handle that I am really digging at the moment. It has no lock and no moving parts except the spring steel that lightly friction fits it into the slot.
What has brought this question to fruition is the fact that I have a BCM Mod 4B that is extremely hard to get to open. I'm getting ready to file off the aggressive locking point a little at a time to see if I can make it more usable, but wanted to check to see if anyone had any input as to why it's needed or why I shouldn't.
I ordered three last time and might have 2 for sale, we'll see how the grinding goes.
TIA.
