Good mornin
Im familiar with ar's but honestly new to owning the platform, I finally got myself a psa ar pistol in 10.5, got my red dot and magnifier on it and I feel like my buis are a little far back and get in the way of the charging handle on the right side, first I was like maybe a smaller knob on buis, but as Im slow I said maybe a ambi oversize charging handle would fix this issue. That being said, Im very over whelmed with the selection, and would like to keep this a respectable poor mans weapon, what are the good options within a $ 50 range?
Thanks for all the info on ya pages and for future info, this has been a cool learning experience so far

If you charge the handle by only pulling back on the latch side (left side) you can continue using the equipment you have without needing a new handle.  

If you WANT a new ambi handle, I recommend a Radian Raptor.

Geissele ACH. They will likely be very close to that price for either Halloween and/or Black Friday.

There are a lot of good options on the market. Radian LT and BCM can be found around that price.

Can you move your rear BUIS forward a few notches?  It’s not like your losing a lot of sight radius or doing accuracy work with BUIS’s anyway, they are for dinner plate size accuracy, IMO.

Kiddo just scored a Radian off the EE. He's pretty fond of it.

This. Scoot it up a bit OP, a different CH isn't gonna really help you.

You can use your red dot housing as a "ghost-ring" if the battery dies, provided you are absolute co-witnesss.  Just center the front post in the window of the rds.  Works great for close targets, which would be my primary concern if a failure of the primary optic.  I don't bother with buis on scoped rifles anymore, 50/50 on red dot rigs.  

I know some consider it blaspheme, but might consider ditching the rear peep
