Smooth, excellent, but wide. - Badger Ordnance Gen 3 Ambi Charging Handle, AR-15/M16/M4

Everything about it is excellent. The quality, smooth edges and the feel, easy to run and fast. However, the left side of the charging handle is the first thing that touches the surface if my rifle is laying on its side. The right side is probably a millimeter off the ground, with the forward assist touching the surface before it.

I do worry, since I throw my AR around such as in the back of my truck. I don’t particularly take good care of it. It probably is tough enough, since it is badger ordnance… if this is something you would worry about, I advice to give it a second thought.

All in all, excellent, but I wish they sold shorter latches, like most other ambi charging handles offer.
