niko107's Review of TRYBE Defense AR Ambidextrous Enhanced Mil-Spec Charging Handle
So I am quickly like Trybe products. I pointed a buddy out to this deal and he bought a bunch for his family. This is a fairly light weight item but it is also sturdy. I had an upper that chewed one up on the front most likely buffer and barrel seat related. Where my caution will be is if you have to mortar your rifle more than a few times put on gloves. I had an AR-10 not fire cycled yet in assembly. Some reason rounds not coming out so had to mortar them out. My fingers were raw after 5-7 time which if you think about it is a good thing. Your not likely to slip off the charge handle if needing it. I will continue to buy these as price and aggressive texture its good. Also the upper lip is higher than most so maybe it helps with suppression if your that lucky to have one.
I would suggest you coat liberally with a thicker gun oil and rack it many times over a while. Seems like the tolerances are solid without the coating. The coating at least to me feels tighter than most. This may be intended in the design for all I know. After all new to the AR building thing and a M16A2 was the last experience intimately I had with a charge handle.
Pros:
Quality
Sturdy
Looks good
Price is good
Cons:
Handle Texture Aggressive
Needs Wear In
Best Used for:
AR platform build or upgrade
Would Recommend:
Yes
