If you're looking at buying a charging handle, you may want to try this before spending the $20+ on a new one.
Items Needed:
1 spent .40sw or larger casing
JB Weld
1 stock 10/22 charging handle.
How to do it:
1. Disasseble your 10/22 & remove the charging handle assembly.
2. Clean & degrease it. Scuff up the handle portion a little so the JBWeld will adhere a little better.
3. Clean up your casing, I used a Nickel .40sw case from a JHP.
4. Take some painters tape & wrap just below the handle. Between the handle & the rod/spring.
5. Mix up a little JB Weld & fill up your .40sw case almost full.
6. Dunk the handle into the casing. Prop it so that the handle is perpendicular to the casing (L shaped).
Let it dry overnight. Remove the tape & use a small file to clean up any JB Weld or to smooth the transition from casing to handle.
