Charging Handle was created by fishpig
I just put a scope on my AR10 and am looking for a larger charging handle and was wondering what anyone else is using

There are several options available.
Badger Ordnance makes 2 sizes of there tactical latch. Gen 1 & Gen 2

Also, PRI has a complete charging handle, The gas buster with the added benefit of porting to help reduce "gas face" when shooting. Couple of option with the latch, the smooth and serrated. PRI gasbuster

Newest on the market is the BCM gunfighter charging handle with several size options. This one in particular I have not yet tried out but it does get high marks in every review I've read. Bonus is that it has been re-designed to be more robust and take a beating. BCM gunfighter

I'm currently using PRI gas busters on several AR15s and one Included with my SASS, without issue. If I ever were to need to replace them I'd be looking for the BCM gunfighter. I used a Badger GEN2 on a dedicated varmint rig and it does an excellent job of clearing the scope, but it prone to snagging. It will also make a high point when in a soft case and, Some have complained about it wearing excessively where it contacts the upper. It does makes a shiny spot where the hook catches the notch, it just does not bother me.

I have one with a Badger Ordnance latch, don't care for it much.
Thinking of going back to a stock latch.

I have a Gen 2 Badger Ord latch on my 10T and Colt AR-15. They're great. Several other friends have them too and have had good experiences with them.

I have did the same. I have a AR-10T & want a bigger latched charging handle & having trouble. I have BCM's on all my other AR's but the Bravo Company site says they WILL NOT work on Armalite AR-10 models. I have seen posts that the large latch models do not fit & the medium & small latch ones do. Others say they have large latch ones that fit. Very confusing. Check it out thouroughly before buying & any info on what does work would be greatly appreciated!

There was a thread awhile back on arf.com about this in the armalite section....the very same was discussed....apparently the "old" style was the one that would fit correctly for the large latch...but the New style does not...Large latch that is...I agree...abit confusing...
I have the BCM mod 3 and 4 on my 15s...and love them...I am looking into this BCM issue...because I want one for my A4 C...
