Introducing the TacOps-1 Ambidextrous Charging Handle.

ambidextrous charging handle tacops1

June 20,2011 – Over the course of a few weeks I received several e-mail messages from folks in the field regarding the MECHARMOR TacOps-1 AMBIDEXTROUS CHARGING HANDLE. All were eager to point out two things. The first was that my site featured images from an early out of date version and secondly that I must try one of these CHARGING HANDLES for myself. In an odd twist before I was able to update my sites with current information on the TacOps-1 I was contacted by the manufacturer Mecharmor Defense. After a brief e-mail exchange I agreed to check out two samples of the TacOps-1, AR-15, and 308 AR versions. A few days later the mailperson delivered shockingly wonderful charging handle goodness. The TacOps-1 is a perfect example of internet images not doing a product justice. The TacOps-1 is massive to put it mildly. Below is an image of a BCM GUNFIGHTER Mod 3, TacOps-1, and Colt OEM AR-15 Charging handles (308 is the same just longer).

On paper the Gunfighter Mod 3 is slightly wider than the TacOps-1. My examples show they are identical in width as shown in the image below.

Manufacturers Description:

Mecharmor -The all new TacOps-1 charging handle is the newest and most effective ACTUAL combat innovation that has been designed specifically for the AR platform in some time. Not just another accessory; but a well thought out concept that dramatically changes and enhances the way your weapon is deployed, especially with optics on-board!

All users of the AR platform, especially those utilizing their weapon in combat or law enforcement operations know, that re-charging the weapon in any position, dictates the shooter come out of their Eyes On-Sight, High Ready, off hand or prone position to do so, wasting precious moments to reload or clear a weapon jam, while removing their eyes & situational awareness from potential threats. This issue has always been compounded greatly by the use of optics, especially those extending rearward over the charging handle, even a short distance. The TacOps-1 completely changes all this, adding speed, safety and operator assurance through faster, smoother handling of the weapon, and less body movement.

Sniper Ops: ONLY design that allows fast access with larger optics.
Cycle bolt in hidden prone position with minimal body movement.
High ready position; eyes & weapon on target during CQB operations.
Eyes & weapon on target during reload and jam clearing.
Ambidextrous design for traditional manipulation of handle if required.
Center thumb release button for more natural mechanical advantage.
Clear all optics and allow for lowest rearward mounting position.
Ergonomically correct for use with single point slings.
CNC manufactured from 7075 Billet aluminum with matt black anodize.
Manufactured in an ISO -9000 rated facility for maximum quality.
Designed and tested by former US Army Ranger Battalion Sniper.
30% larger roll pin & 7 pound spring to reduce potential blow-back.
100% American made from 7075 billet aluminum.

JP JPS-OSC.308 308AR Tuned Buffer Spring

JP Enterprises Tuned 308AR Buffer Spring

In the first days of this site John Paul of JP Enterprises was instrumental in passing on very good knowledge of the 308AR platform. Not only was has the company with his name on it been in the game for a long time it has also been building reliable competition rifles when others did not have a weapon on the drawing board. When JP talks I listen

JP has developed a new high grade extra power buffer spring for 308AR AR-10 rifles with collapsible stocks. It is custom made to JP specifications. Center-less ground and polished on outside edge to a mirror finish for silent, smooth operation. 7% more powerful spring rate for improved impulse feel resulting in faster sight recovery and improved reliability. This spring will make your 308AR or AR-10 carbine sound quieter and smoother. This is an inexpensive way to improve the sound, feel and reliability of your 308AR or AR-10 carbine. The length and power of this spring falls between a factory standard power spring and a Sprinco .308 carbine extra power spring.

Precision centerless ground and polished operating springs offer a smoother and quieter operation in AR buffer tubes. Improved impulse feel results in faster sight recovery and improved reliability.

*Designed for .308/7.62mm AR style carbines with M4 length, 7″ deep buffer tubes and 2.5″ buffers.

Note JP also recommends this buffer spring for 9mm AR15 rifles

Daniel Defense Lite Rail 308 AR AR-10 DPMS 308

by Donald Sullivan | May 10, 2015 | Handguards, Daniel Defense | 0 comments

Daniel Defense Lite Rail 308 AR AR-10 DPMS 308

The Daniel Defense Lite Rail 308 AR DPMS LR308 AR 10 was designed to work with the AR10, DPMS, and Rock River Arms LAR-8 .308 rifle length gas systems; but works equally as well mounted over top of a low profile gas block. The rail and bolt up plate are machined from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum and all fasteners are military specification. The rail’s unique “Bolt Up” mounting system mates with the upper receiver to create a singular ‘monolithic’ rail along the entire top portion of the rifle. The rail interface not only free-floats the rifle’s barrel for improved accuracy, but also generates huge benefits when mounting optics and accessories.
