Airsoft Buddy Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 2 guys at Hong Kong just launched their Steel Charging Handle for WE Gas Blow Back M4. Not only the Steel Charging Handle, they also made 7075 Aliminium Version Charging Handles. For details, please refer to the following link.

MikeG Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Interesting that someone would make a steel version of a part that is aluminum on the real rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
kilo_64 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 because steel is easy to work with Link to post Share on other sites
rottenotto Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Interesting that someone would make a steel version of a part that is aluminum on the real rifle. They make steel ones for real AR's. I have a steel charging handle on mine. Link to post Share on other sites
T0p Sp!N Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 because steel is easy to work with I was always under the impression Aluminum was because it's softer. Steel is stronger/more rigid though. Link to post Share on other sites
darkest2000 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Steel is stronger/more rigid though. It sure is, a steel charging handle is also great when you want to put extra wear on your alloy receiver. Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 yould have to work with metal for a little while to learn this, but Steel doesnt muck up your tools like Aluminum does. its like compairing a hard granola bar to a stick of butter. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, depending on whether this is casted and the stock parts are casted, this would seem like an OK replacement I guess... Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The steel charging handle costs $8 less and gets the job done as well, that's why I ordered one. Link to post Share on other sites
newcomer Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 It sure is, a steel charging handle is also great when you want to put extra wear on your alloy receiver. I second that. 7075 is one of the toughest alum grade out there so unless the charging handle is of sound design and free of material defect, it would make any difference.

uscmCorps Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I honestly don't understand why some manufacturers don't design their airsoft GBB guns to be compatible with some RS components. Obviously you'd not want the rifle to be ever capable of chambering a real round, and certain components are illegal to own (like a full auto sear)... but common parts like trigger assemblies, charging handles, bolt catches, selector switches ... those could easily be designed to be RS compliant.

jkpics Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Some of the parts you list are ilegal in other countrys, US < world Link to post Share on other sites
Carsten Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I honestly don't understand why some manufacturers don't design their airsoft GBB guns to be compatible with some RS components ..why? Because they want you to buy their stuff.. they want to earn money beside that it would be nice if we were able to use more of that real stuff (at least without any modifications) Some of the parts you list are ilegal in other countrys, US < world that isn't really a problem since those guys, who are not able to buy those stuff can always buy spare parts made especially for that airsoft rifle..

jkpics Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Or the airsoft parts are then real gun parts, and then the gun is ilegal, and can not be owned in that country. Link to post Share on other sites
