Charging handle > Rifles, Uppers, Lowers, Barrels, and more

I bought a Bushmaster upper assembly from an individual and I love the upper except for the charging handle. It feels so cheap and I don't think it is a Bushmaster. Is there different qualities of handles? The seller said it is an aluminum M4 military spec but seems real flimsy. Is there a different gauge in regards to the Aluminum handle?

It's kinda hard to tell a good quality charging handle from a poor quality one. If it concerns you, just pick up one from Bravo Company or another site vendor.

I must admit I took it out which I usually don't do so maybe that's it. Or maybe it was made in Pakistan.

I just put one in one of my uppers and love it, even though I'm a lefty.

Yep. The VLTOR "BCM Gunfighter" or "Noveski" charging handles are great.

I love my PRI Gas Buster, very solid, and can handle the "1 handed" use, not that I do.

Well I think I figured out the difference. A good handle is made of billet 7075 T6 aluminum and not 6043? In other words made from a billet and the 7075 makes a big difference.

TacOps charging handle. Built like a tank, larger size, very easy to use even under an optic. And it is ambidexterous
