From my experience a ...Ian really knows his stuff.<br /><br />From my experience a charging handle that is non-reciprocating and on the weak hand side of the receiver is ideal, like the FAL. On the AR15 platform I run a GIBBZ Arms side charger that behaves the same. With that said, in my 7yrs in 3gun I've rarely had to break cheek weld because of malfunctions, but appreciate no interference with the optics and the additional speed it affords.<br /><br />Stages frequently require starting from a bolt closed, unloaded rifle and side charging is the ticket.<br /><br />Also, don't be a left handed (like my son). It's just plain wrong and bad karma.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953730970222401127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-82897115291495237642017-09-21T18:17:31.286-04:002017-09-21T18:17:31.286-04:00Unless your last name is Watts, Bloomberg, Brady, ...Unless your last name is Watts, Bloomberg, Brady, or Giffords, there is no hope of that.John Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151468462458613615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-29209173738075087372017-09-21T16:15:00.931-04:002017-09-21T16:15:00.931-04:00I absolutely hate the AR top-mounted charging hand...I absolutely hate the AR top-mounted charging handle. Always have, always will. It is dumb. There is no after-market, high-end charging handle that will fix the fact that the AR platform uses it. <br /><br />I appear to be grumpy today. I should get off John's lawn before he kicks me off.<br /><br />;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
