Fits but tight - Phase 5 Weapon Systems Inc Ambi-Battle Latch/Charging Handle Assembly .308 CAL for Sig 716

Thomas's Review of Phase 5 Weapon Systems Inc Ambi-Battle Latch/Charging Handle Assembly .308 CAL for Sig 716
Picked up a sig 716 but due to putting a scope on I can no longer easily use the stock charging handle, so the difficult search came to find a replacement. Turns out the 716 is unique in several ways, including the charging handle, meaning the design is different than a std 308 AR type. Only two companies make a replacement. The first is a company that only makes for military contracts, and their overstock is only occasionally sold to civilians. And the second company is Phase 5. So this is it folks if you want and extended handle for your 716.
It works fine, but it would have been nice if the handle was wider still. If you need a wide handle, you need it WIDE. The big issue though is it is a TIGHT fit into the upper. Hard to fit in, and nearly impossible to get out, but when it is in the 'channel' it works fine.
Pros:
Only company that makes it
Cons:
tight fit
Best Used for:
Sig 716 only
Would Recommend:
Yes
