An Official Journal Of The NRA | Charging-Handle Placement: Does It Matter?
Location, location, location. The placement of the charging handle on a rifle has been up for much debate over the years, but does the location really make a difference?
I much prefer a left-side charging handle forward on the hand guard...sooo much more natural.
It’s why I like HK's and AUG's.
I agree with @Talyn on this. I like it to remain the same with my hand on or near as close to possible to the controls of whichever platform I’m running. I would however like to try this out, looks pretty neat, Devil Dog Arms side charger...View attachment 3881
Yeah if I catch it on sale I may go for it and put it on one of my range rifles. I like the reviews I have read on them. I’m with ya, I like what I know but this seems intriguing.I've been looking at those for awhile. Don't know if I'll spring for one to try out, since my muscle-memory is pretty much automatic in operating an AR. Interesting though.
I have two MSAR E4's.
Looked at AUGs for a long time but wanted to standardize with AR (STANAG) mag. Once the MSAR E4's came out that way I got my first one, then built up another from acquired parts.
Never have had any issues with my MSAR's but have picked up alot of spare parts including the AR bolt conversions for future use.
I would like it more forward also! Add the same forward of the pivot pin and it would be great from prone!I much prefer a left-side charging handle forward on the hand guard...sooo much more natural.
