Perfect for use with maxim defense roller delayed buffer - Springfield Armory LevAR Ratcheting Charging Handle

boB's Review of Springfield Armory LevAR Ratcheting Charging Handle
I bought this based on recommendations around the Internet for use with a Maxim Defense Roller Delayed Buffer. That system is very stiff (32lb, 14.5kg) for the first ⅜" of travel, or so. This LevAR system is absolutely genius, and it makes that first little bit of pull feel just about that of a normal AR charging experience, just slightly heavier in overall pull weight. As a left-handed user, this Springfield product actually favors me over traditional right handed users, in that the handle extends out to the right side of the weapon, making it very easy to use. Another person asked about a wider handle, and there may be some confusion. There are pictures of it closed and open, those are not different products. Open, this is one of the largest charging handles that I've come across. I wear lg or xl gloves, and i can fit 3 of my fingers solidly on the extended handle to pull with.
Pros:
Excellent leverage! Good for everyone, best for left-handers
Cons:
Comes dry as a bone. Be sure to add quality oil to the mechanism and key wear points
Best Used for:
Almost ideal for use with Maxim Defense RDB Roller Delayed Buffer
Would Recommend:
Yes
