fit to Aero Precision M5 308 upper
I bought this Badger Ordnance 7.62 ambi charging handle to use with my Aero Precision 308 M5 upper. There's some interference between the bottom "recess" edges on the charging handle, and the shaped slightly-angled profile at the top-back of the AP M5 upper. Had to do some careful hand-filing on the charging handle to get nice clean fit. It wasn't too difficult, but wasn't expecting that. On the other hand, I also have a DPMS LR-308 upper, and this Badger Ordnance ambi CH fit that one straight out of the box as is, no problem. I like this charging handle, the rounded edges are smooth, with subtle serrations, spring tension on the paddles is just right, and it's not a blatant "race-gun" type of part. It doesn't really stand out as an after-market souped-up part. The matte black anodizing matches the finish of the upper receiver.
