Anyone know who has the raptor charging handle in medium? Now known as AXTS company I think.
I’ve looked high and low, but no luck. Thanks
What do you mean medium? Do you mean the newest charging handle RA is releasing? If so, I don’t think many people have handled them yet.
I’m talking about the size of the tangs. They make regular, medium, and large. I have a medium, but I bought another ar and looking for another medium. AXTS has taken over the production, but I can’t seem to find one in stock.
Hasen’t AXTS always produced them? I saw a sneak peek of a Rainier Raptor with modular latches but I have not heard anything in a while bout it.
That’s what I thought.
Did you mean the Rainier Arms Avalanche? So far as I know, there is no modularity to the Raptor.
I’ve never seen a regular, medium, and large Raptor. There is a version that has both latches the same size though. And yes, AXTS always made them. Maybe you’re thinking of the BCM Gunfighter?
To the best of my knowledge Raptors only come in one size. BCM gunfighter latches come in different sizes.
My understanding is Rainier had the basic Raptor design, and AXTS manufactured it. Rainier has a new modular design, and AXTS has nothing to do with this one. AXTS continues to produce the older Raptor model under their own name.
Let me clarify as I have been a little confusing. I purchased a Raptor charging handle for my colt 6920 in May from Bravo company. At that time, they had three different sizes: regular, medium, and large. That referred to the length of the tangs ( that is the length of the part you pull with your fingers or palm to load a round ). The handle has on the top side “Raptor by AXTS.” It is NOT the Avalanche. Also at that time, Ranier Arms had them in stock. Now they are listed as out of stock. It is perfect, not too long to snag your tactical gear, yet long enough to charge your rifle easily. I’m surprised that I can’t find another to put on my last AR.
You can’t find one because they don’t exist. The BCM Gunfighter CH have different size levers: Mod 3 (large), Mod 4 (medium), and Mod 5 (small). The Raptors are only available in two models, the 5.56 & 7.62 variants but were never available with different size levers. I think you may be confusing the two brands.
^This!
I’ve never seen or heard of the Raptor coming with different size latches.
Op… tell us when & where you saw these charging handles.
Raptor only comes in 1 size! And you won’t be able to buy a raptor from Rainier Arms since they are promoting their own new product…the Avalanche.
Please post a pic of your charging handle so this can be put to rest.
I’m not so sure that BCM ever sold Raptor charging handles either. Not positive but I don’t recall ever seeing them available on their website.
I won’t press the issue. Might not have been Bravo I ordered from, possibly from Primary arms, I don’t have the invoice. But I have a Rainier Arms charging handle made by AXTS on my colt Ar. It showed three sizes of tangs: regular, medium, or large. I got the medium. Enough said.
I believe that you have a Raptor but the option of different size latches seems to raise some questions/confusion.
I’m not sure why you won’t believe everyone, but you either don’t have a Raptor or you didn’t have a choice in latch size. I looked on Rainier’s site and couldn’t find the item you claimed was out of stock.
Fellows, I’m not trying to be a jack—, but I just wish I still had my invoice, as it was labeled as “medium”. I have tried to find the different sizes I was referring to, but to no avail.
So, I apologize for the turmoil. I have ordered another raptor charging handle from brownells, but only listed one type. I have racked my brain trying to remember for sure where
I ordered the first handle from, but old brains just can’t recall. I assure I was not trying to get a stink going, I was totallly honest in my remarks. So, for now, without further proof, I’ll eat a big batch of crow pie!!
