Charging handle/ EOTech 556 solutions?

[bm11]

I, like most, have found that I love everything about my SCAR... except that with a EOTech 556 that I take skin off my knuckles trying to cycle the charging handle.

Is there an aftermarket charging handle that is longer that is available, or is moving the charging handle to the right the only solution?

For now, moving my holosight to the rear has fixed the issue, however, I plan on adding a magnifier and at that point, I'll have to move the holosight forward again to the point where it is in the way of the charging handle.

Thanks,

At this point there's only 1 maker of aftermarket charging handles, but they would still cause the same issue. He's apparently working on another one that would angle down to avoid issues with optics.

Well, at least there is something on the way then. I'm surprised that FN hasn't addressed this issue yet.

Who makes a replacement Charging Handle for the SCAR? I keep thinking this flimsy thing is going to break off in my hand as it grabs everything including my fingers, forearms, elbow. . . smiles.
