Now, again, if you were to do this, obviously Ruger will more than likely replace your charging handle, but they'll tell you, hey, you need to adjust the gas on it because your gas is coming back now.

Um, there's a reason that AR 10 handles are longer because they have a longer gas stroke, um, that allows them to kind of reduce that, that recoil impulse hitting the handle.

Okay.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AR-15 Podcast 517 โ€“ Sentry Manufacturing J

Yeah.

I mean, I wouldn't guess at any problem.

So I guess the end of that story is that our handle performed, it lasted around 150 to 200 rounds in a same S4 configuration when one of them broke in a couple of rounds.

So it is built better.

I will tell you that if it's breaking charging handles to begin with, it

it's an inevitability that a charging handle is going to break.

So it's more about the geometry of the latch and how they're built.

So I can't tell you for sure because I haven't tested it in some of those guns, but I have the utmost confidence it's going to outlast whatever you're using.

But again, if it is breaking latches in a very short period of rounds, I would maybe look into an adjustable gas block or something.

But if it's something that happened over the course of 400, 500 rounds that I don't have any

concern about any of our handles breaking.

But the good thing is, too, is that with that lifetime warranty, if you do happen to break it, we'll just send you a new one.

AR-15 Podcast 517 โ€“ Sentry Manufacturing J

But I do think that that's also a unique thing.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AR-15 Podcast 517 โ€“ Sentry Manufacturing J

You know, it's a very unique comment.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AR-15 Podcast 517 โ€“ Sentry Manufacturing J

And I'm glad that somebody brought that up because it is a

It is an issue that folks are having.

Especially you see charging handles bouncing and out of guns.
