I just stuck a Badger Ordnance tac latch on mine and it was fine. The Armadynamics stuff looks nice but for the price (£55.00 or thereabouts??) I don't see it offering much more thean the one i've got.
You could always get one from these guys: http://www.lannertactical.com/tactical1/ARMAD01.html They are listing them as out of stock at the moment but they were listed for the bargain price of £170.00

If you're going to change it get one of these... http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM%20GFH%20Mod%203%20556-2.jpg ....and get me one while you're at it... 
How much do they go for? ETA, Just checked Brownells. £30.00ish.... not bad. |

I like this one. Ideal for cack handers & GBFB with sausage fiingers 
I qualify on both counts

So have Spikes Tactical, though not an ideal result that took 3 weeks for a 3-5 day express mail wonder ! Comes down to what parts & how much irrc. Recievers, barrels & lowers are going to prove difficult, ie export / import licences involved on both sides of pond & then dealers & proofing. Small parts like triggers etc can get through dependent on cost. Rule of thumb is if less than $100 dollars, try it on with Brownells. Well, it's worked for me. Atb |
WTF would anyone spend £170 on something like that? 
Totally pointless on a sidecharger build and complete overkill for a .22 that only gets used down the range. I must be missing something. Who's this lanner tactical anyhow? Some of those pics look similar to the ones in the pic thread |

BHOAs should be available from Lanner Tactical as they appear to be the official UK importer, they also have H&K 416s. Can't wait, anyone know anything about these guys? All I know is that the rifle in their flikr account is a photoshopped Spikes Tactical |

Quoted:
prices seem rather high they must be using the same pricing system as midway uk some of that gear is well over priced. Yes, I agree. As with most firearm related purchases in UK, it's a case of, they have it, you want ( need ) it ! The ole gunplumber Bradley is my first port of call for black rifle bits... unless a bargain crosses my path of course

CMMG do an anti jam charge handle that does appear to work.
Its a plastic polymer type affair. Bradders or North west custom parts might have some CMMG bits but don't know more than that. Or you can modify your own charge handle by using chemical weld or similar & filling in the slot & shaping it. Not going to teach my granny to suck eggs or anything, but my .22 was sending spent cartridges vertical up into the reciever & trapping them in the bolt group. That was cured by a decent extractor. Cheers |

why dont you get some devcon putty and fill the slot??
cheap effective and simple Coz then the bolt won't reciprocate Lynk, I'll contact you offline with a couple of fixes. I would post them on here, but from past experience there's too many sneaky bastards out there waiting to nick idea's coz they can't come up with their own in the first place |

Had plenty from Brownells but they seem to have tightened up a bit recently and if the manufacturer isn't on the State Department list, they will not export whatever the item costs! DP I take back what I said. I was wrong. Things have got worse due to ITAR. Brownells have become very particular. Cheers Darren |

Can't believe people get so excited over a charging handle Surely one could add a bit to existing charging handle to get the same effect ? Would not function the same if I have interpreted what you said correctly ( might not have )
The whole rear section of the handle acts as an ambidextrous lever in a push pull stylie. Just adding a bit on to an existing handle would just be another lump of material welded or bolted with no added function. You could just add an ambi latch to the existing charge handle of course. Cheers |
