1st proof of concept for an M2 charging handle replacement. Just getting the feel right before making it look pretty and making sure it actually secures to the assembly. Really not a fan of the stock charging handle and with very limited options available on the market, figured id try my hand at making one.
Practical? No comment
Does it work? Hell yes
Is this what I normally run? Hell no
Magnifiers diopter focuss the image. Acog clone is a 4X, magnifier is 5X. Phone camera isn't picking up just how clear the reticle and sight picture is. Not sure if its actually giving me 20X magnification but that sign is about 50yds from my window, I cant even see the text with the naked eye.
I've been seeing contradictions with slapping a M1 rail on a M2 receiver. Steyrs site advertises Corvas M1 rails as being incompatible with the M2 receiver while other sources specifically mention the M2 was designed to accept both types of rails.
I'm considering a 20" barrel at some point and love the look of the Underworld Arms handgaurd. I know there will be a gap where the M1s sling mount would be on an M2 setup if I replaced my current rail but other than that, would there be any other issues?
