Rainier Arms Raptor
Been waiting months for the Raptor. An ambidextrous charging handle. I missed the first order. I was on duty at work (thanks Coast Guard). So when Rainier Arms posted on facebook they were expecting it to go live again today with its second batch. Guess who spent the day camping their site...
THIS GUY! 
Thank god there was nothing going on, not to mention my supervisor at my Temporary Assigned Duty is an AR nut like me.
And i got one! At the intro price too boot!

I am not, but the idea of an ambi charging handle is extremely appealing to me.
Plus it's new and sexxy.

It really feels like its cool to have. To be honest an off hand scenario it would be awesome, I'm considering putting it on what ever AR I carry on duty. And certain work qualifying firing lines would be so much easier with this.
But over all it's a novelty.

That looks pretty cool. I've shot matches where we had to shoot/reload offhand and yeah it's awkward. I dunno that I'd drop $85 on one but it would be nice to have.

I git lucky and was able to get it for $59. They gave the first 2 shipments an intro price. Otherwise I agree
