Looks like the Raptor started an ambi CH revolution.

I like the charging handle (from what I can see). The potential price scares me a bit. Raptors are expensive enough.

It's definitely got a touch of class. Maybe I can get lucky and win one like I did with the Raptor.

First glance, it looks nice, but the levers look too short.

[Aragorn]

Yeah I'm digging that charging handle...

[Battle Cock]

They look a little smaller than the raptor but they definitely have more tactile surface area per lever than a standard charging handle. I could see use in having an Ambi CH that is a little sleeker.

Yet another way for Bill Geissele to remove funds from my bank account. The man is a genius.

[JGifford]

Scalarworks has the LW T1/T2 mount arena cornered, as far as I'm concerned.

[UWone77]

In case you needed an optic mount on your .50

[Dstrbdmedic167]

You got some on order don't you?

[Battle Cock]

Dang. Three mounting clamps, and scope rings that tighten all the way down with no gaps between the caps and the main mount. I've never gotten into heavy weapons but I can see how those would be great features for withstanding recoil.

T1 mount.... $350

Charging handle.... $275

[Joelski]

Can't wait til he comes out with an ACOG mount for the M82-CQB. ;)

You laugh, but that's almost a thing. This or an Aimpoint was pretty common to see on my deployments:

[UWone77]

T1 mount.... $350

Charging handle.... $275

You get those out of the EraTh3 catalog?

[Battle Cock]

You get those out of the EraTh3 catalog?

Heh. I'll be honest it took me 3-4 seconds to realize he has kidding.

[voodoo_man]

You get those out of the EraTh3 catalog?

Should i have?

Shit, at this rate ill be broke as shhhheeeet

They have a ACOG with a 50 BMG reticle so I see a need for mounting choices. LOL

[gatordev]

And only $3 grand! What a deal!

If I run across somebody kicking doors with that, I'm making damn sure his beers are paid for!

Sounds like a plan.

To be fair, no door-kickin'. Although this guy is running what looks to be a 553 (maybe?) instead of a XPS (and shot about two years later...sorry for the VVS, but my crewman didn't know any better):

ETA... posting YT videos with this software is annoying. When I can I throw money at the problem and help upgrade, UW?

[Joelski]

If that thing went off in a mudhut, the enemy would die from the earbleed alone! :D

Just wait for the Black Friday sales, you'll be fine [BD]

If you're already not broke from all the sales and new products lately, you're doing it wrong. [BD]

We're working on it [:D]

Is broke and wife wanting your head on a stick same thing?

Just waiting for SHOT, then I'm totally shot.

[DutyUse]

Didn't Geissele do a branded raptor there for awhile? I guess they got tired of paying royalties to AXTS

[titanse05]

Didn't Geissele do a branded raptor there for awhile? I guess they got tired of paying royalties to AXTSIndeed they did. Seemed like everyone did at one point. All four of mine are Rainier Arms branded.

[DutyUse]

Unless I'm missing something, this design doesn't do anything for me over a standard raptor (which I love and have several).

Im much more interested in the Griffin Snach

[voodoo_man]

The charging handle market is pretty saturated.

With that said, the raptor CH changed the game, the RA Avalanche blinged the game out with 20" rims.

Unless a CH does something super non-standard it is just a regular charging handle at this point.

[Battle Cock]

Yeah, but this CH definitely gets some style points. I'm fine with having more options for my builds!

[UWone77]

Like anything Geissele builds, I'm sure this will be a tank. Looks like it will also do well to mitigate some gasses coming back at the shooter for suppressed guns. Looking forward to my sample. [:D]

[voodoo_man]

I mean, yeah, "style points" is good.

I might buy one just to add to a build I'll be using a geissele rail on, just you know, to match.

But otherwise, its the same as an OEM one...

[alamo5000]

My first charging handle was a raptor... it was great. Nothing wrong with it in any way. I sold it though to a forum member here.

That said the SNACH is on another level if you ask me. It's definitely robust and a pleasure to use. It's more robust IMO than the Raptor.

As far as effectiveness of keeping gas out of your face... I don't really have anything to test it against anymore but it seems like it works fine.

I've been doing some homework on this stuff and I think it depends largely on the gun you put it on and the type of ammo used. The back pressure and as the griffin guys say 'popping the cork' ie the bullet leaving the muzzle on an 18" gun is at a far different level than the pressure of the bullet leaving a 10.5" or other shorter barrel.

http://sadefensejournal.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/barrel5.jpg

A 20" barrel has half the PSI of a 10.5" barrel as well as twice the internal volume and twice the distance...so all that will come into play with how 'effective' the SNACH will be at diverting gasses.

I know on my 16" gun I haven't even had a whisper of gas hitting me in the face. I think it's a combination of the ammo, the can, the barrel length and possibly other stuff....

But the SNACH is definitely a good charging handle....

[Battle Cock]

But otherwise, its the same as an OEM one...

Except ambi. Of course.

After talking my buddy at Geissele, I don't think this is one of those earth shattering "game changing" products. Just another choice in the market. I doubt anyone will be swapping their existing charging handles with this. Hard to do at $90 a pop.

$90?

Good lord dats a lot of money.

[Battle Cock]

Wasn't $90 about the price point where raptors were introduced?

Edit: I'm single and work too much so I don't spend my money on much other than food and gun parts. I'm bound to inevitably grab one of these as long as they stay under $100. Though I'll probably wait awhile.

when your wife want's your head on a stick, give her the head on a stick.
