BCG and Charging Handle for 11.5" Build

[MDO]

Just finishing up my 11.5 build with PSA lower, Spikes buffer tube, Geissele SSA-E, LWRCI lower parts kit with ambi safety, and PSA 11.5 upper.... Need recommendations for a good ambi charging handle and BCG.

I'm a big fan or the BCM charging handles, the radian raptors are also excellent. I've been having great success with Toolcraft bcgs which can be found for great prices usually. SOLGW is kind of the gold standard for classic bcgs nowadays though.

What's your budget?

 

[MDO]

$300 for both

You could get an Aero Precision Breach CH and a nitride BCG for just around 225.00 + sh
I think that would match up good with your build.

Aero Precision Nitride BCG is about $140

Geissele Airborne Charging Handle $105

Done

I have Radians in all of mine and they are great, however if you’re gonna be shooting suppressed go with the Geissele, the ledge on the back is much better for keeping gas out of the face.

 

[MDO]

Thanks. The only suppressed I have is in 9mm.

If you end up shooting it suppressed, the bootleg adjustable bcg had worked great in both my 11.5 and 16. I have a radian raptor ch on the 11.5 and a geissele on the 16. I do think the geissele does a bit better with the gas.
