SWFA has the 3-15x42 SFP cope on sale for 399.99.

Been waiting for a sale on those. Thanks!

Will have to see how this pans out, if so it will be a good deal on a charging handle.

If you missed out on the Maxim PDW brace offer, this might work.

Through tomorrow, the coupon code PUNT saves another 10% and puts the cost at $315 with free shipping. This is the brace only, not the bundle.

I bought a bunch of those at Delta Team Tactical for about the same price. It almost mimics a dual side charger. It is very robust.
Why is this one $5 cheaper?

Notice how they don't call out the alloy used.

A charge handle should be 7075 T6 with a Type III hard coat anodizing, not "the finest aerospace grade aluminum with a blackened finish".

If these are 6061, they will fail early. Makes you wonder where it was made based on that price, and what materials, QC standards, etc.

Yep, world of difference between 6061 and 7075 alloys. Both are "aircraft grade". The alloy used depends on what part of the airplane it is used for. T6 is the heat treat process, not the alloy, so that can be misleading as well. Watch out for marketing techniques and wording.

Damn. Thats something I could afford too. Oh well...

7075 with Type III hard coat anodizing. These should work.

Yep, I know the difference in aluminum heat treating and cladding.
I would be surprised if they are not anodized in some fashion as that would be the cost effective way of doing things.
I ordered one and will see how it works out.
I will be glad to report back.
I will say that 90.00 bucks for a charging handle is a little nuts though

It would be an interesting survey to see how many 6.5 Grendels each member owns.

Does that include ones in progress?

Lol yeah... And how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop???

This is why i insisted on a forged steel CH. DSA has them i think they are 1144 if i remember correctly. About $40ea. I like the older extended latch than their new ones. The consistency wasnt really impressive though. They did scrape the bottom of the barrel to get me six of them but still. Between those and the shite buffer tube inferior finish i would caution about using DSA. But then again i think a CH that stout is worth the gamble.
Its been interesting ordering parts six at a time and seeing what kind of batch quality you get on certian items..

While im on here.. Gearheadworks released their latest batch of tail hook mod 2's last night. I got my order in. $200 +$7 S&H.

And yes LOP is adjustable.. $200tax stamp or $200 for a brace. Challenge accepted!!!
They also offer discounts for LEO, retired /active service, and first responders which is nice.

Redo your late to the party... Read back four posts just a heads up. Always pays to read back just a bit. These snipers are quick!
