$300 Charging Handle!!!

[matt_b]

I am an AXTS fanboy but DAMN!
Anyone jumping on these? I thought they would be gone by now
They have been up for 2 weeks now.
looks like AXTS teamed up with EraThr3 (pronounced Era-Three) to bring this exclusive new design
(model: Freedom Bone) based off the raptor design

If you are wondering what EraThr3 is? Its a sister company to Noveske.
I think Sheri runs it. They Have some expensive@$$(relative to me) long guns, titanium parts kits($$$) and use proof barrels($) in all their firearms, $600 backpack with Level IIIA armor.
(In case you were wondering, since I didn't know this company existed until early January)


I am getting one. *whispers* When I could afford it.

The Short.
Limited to 100 only
Titanium from end to end.
designed for suppressors(so practically useless in CALI)



If you like the design but not the price, no worries. They have an aluminum version coming out for everybody.


Wouldn't a adjustable gas block be a better solution for suppressor users?

[Tere_Hanges]

how would it function any different with a suppressor? All it does is pull the BCG out of battery. Fools and money... how does the saying go?

[Glocked@45]

You can always poke someones eye out with it.

What does it do that a standard mil-spec CH can't?

[ENTHUSIAST]

Yeah what is the point of the lightening cuts and the holes other than looking fancy and than other being made from Ti what is the selling point that justifies $300???

Ti charging handle has a bit of a kewl factor but materials and production cost should put it in the $100 range... I don't see where they are getting their price point from.

It has visible abs?

[Write Winger]

Doubles as a tactical jigsaw.

[Webologist]

I'm not nearly operator enough to take advantage of the low drag, high speed weapon dynamics this amazing bit of kit provides.

Besides, I'm saving up for body armor that can stop .338 Lapua and Ninjitsu boots...

[matt_b]

being limited and price aside
Don't really know how redirecting some of the gas into part of the upper receiver helps? but it explains why it is squared off by the handle.
To keep a tight seal of gasses coming out the top part of the CH.
Maybe there is a hole in the handle itself, like the gas buster.
Does it help deal with blowback like it was "designed" to do?
oh and the aluminum ones will be $120ish

I thought I was crazy paying 300 bucks for titanium pedals for my road bike. Not much to a CH (except for being titanium) to make it worth that much IMO.

If a muzzle brake can cost $200-250. Why not a charging handle...?

[BoJackUSMC]

Man, some fancy stuff... probably waste of money..rather use that money towards acog or something
