US metric-pattern charging handle sources?

[miatakix]

Does anyone know where a decent US made metric-pattern charging handle can be found, the sliding part for 922R? I tried ordering one from DSA but it was backordered. I checked with Mountainman, too, and it sounds like a future project for him, but I'm wanting to get this built within the month.

Maybe I'll just have to get a falcon part for the HTS, like maybe the sear or trigger. I've been trying to keep the internals original as I heard they are better quality than the Falcon stuff, but with an Argy receiver, this is getting rough.

What I have in the works so far:

DSA hanguards
DSA pistol grip
US piston
Vortex flash hider
US floorplate
US follower (Falcon)

That's 6.

I have a DSA HTS on backorder, too. But that probably won't be here in the next 6 months, only ordered it a few months ago. I figure I'll let those show up when they show up and use them to build a second rifle. Same with the DSA charging handle I ordered.

Would anyone have an idea if one is more important than the other to trigger pull, the sear or trigger?

tapco makes a charging handle if you can find one...why not a dsa stock?

[miatakix]

Yeah, from Tapco's website it doesn't look like they are made anymore. I'll keep an eye on the marketplace and the auction sites, though.

I wasn't aware that DSA even made US buttstocks aside from that X-stock? I really like the humpback that came with the Argy kit, anyway.

Midway has the DSA ones in stock.

if you have a current dsa catalog they do make a humpback stock...i have one...pretty nice...

[gunnut1]

Usre these parts.

US gas piston
US receiver
US HTS
US charging handle
US pistol grip
US charging handle

That way, you can use the original flash hider and stocks.

Thanks, guys, much appreciated. I figured those aluminum versions as available might not be as good as the steel ones, but that's just a hunch. The DSA one that Midway has is tempting, though. If I can get a decent US humpback from DSA, I might go that route. I'll certainly call them next week, anyhow.

gunnut1, I actually want a Vortex flash hider, as it sounds like a good flash hider and serves as an adapter for the sound suppressor I'm planning on getting...the same suppressor will work on my AK and AR if I put a Vortex on each of them, too. Maybe whenever the DSA HTS shows up I can switch back to the Argy furniture, but I'll have to modify the hammer to fit the Argy receiver.

To answer your question on the trigger parts, if I were going to use only one for compliance it would be the trigger. The critical engagement surfaces are on the hammer and sear.

[miatakix]

Awesome, thanks much, emcroy, I might just add one on to an order I was already going to place with Falcon

[mountainman]

Just wait till July and I will be started on some standard G1 type CH's with aluminum (black and shiny) , parked CM (add $15) and SS knobs (add $17). Bodies as always made out of 4140 pre hardened steel. Also, my rails are cut specifically to INCH or METRIC height. I should figure out the price by June.

[miatakix]

Excellent, mountainman, great to hear. I'll definitely be ordering one or two
