Spare parts? What are those? Oh yea, you got it... beginnings of new builds.Had a similar extended latch on my charging handle until I went with a Raptor style ambi model. Now I have a spare charging handle. Time to build another AR!
Their shipping isn’t terrible, but it’s best to plan your purchases and get more than just a part or two from one supplier.I want one. I hope they don't get rich on the shipping charges!

I found this out the first time I went still hunting with my 762x39 AR homebuilt back in the 2004 - 2005 timeframe after installing a Badger paddle. The charging handle was the noisiest part of my kit, and that was no bueno.The larger extended charging handles work well on rifles like the SR25 with the larger scopes for SHOOTING, but have been known to catch on gear and pull the BCG out of battery when being CARRIED, as the extended CH is bumping onto the individual equipment/body armor
I need this.My youngest son is a lefty. We went with a Strike Industries latchless charging handle with one extension on the right side.

This is an OEM CH from a budget AR. When doing a standard pogo didn’t clear a stuck round, a rubber deadblow was used to smack the handle on the right while holding the latch on the left.while the handle on the mil spec CH leaves a lot to be desired, the body is significantly stronger and more expensive to produce than the standard civilian version. Just because someone blinged up a CH with red anodizing and a fancy shape, doesn't mean the body is stronger. It could still be made out of cheaper material.
I finally got around to installing the three Strike Industries latches today. It took me about 15 minutes from beginning to end to do all three, but I was certainly glad that I had the proper roll pin punches/starters.
what is the diameter of your pin punch that does the job???
