Is Ole Buddy all right? Have not seen response in a while.
Any update on things now Mntnman-TF? How you been Ole Buddy? I have my REPR stripped to be cerakoted a different color and would love your charging handle to go back on it.
Also any idea where to get the barrel nut wrench for the REPR? Lwrc told me I needed to send it in to have it removed.

The wrench would need to be custom made plus you have to heat the upper to release the barrel from the thermal fit. I was going to cerakote mine as well , I asked LWRC about getting a folding side charging handle but he said it wouldn't fit the MKI. This seems strange since the bolt carriers are interchangeable between the MKI and MKII.
Ok guys we finally have the go ahead from Mntnman-TF on getting an order going for the charging handles. Listed below is the info from him on how to be added to the list and payment info will be updated as we know things more, and I'm sure he will chime in an update things as well. Let's make this thing happen guys!
If anybody wants to be added to the list for now, just have them e mail me at
[email protected]
in the subject write REPR FCH and in the body I need their name address and how many they want. That ought to get the list started and then hopefully in 3 days will know how much 7075 to order.
Thanks

so far 6 pcs isn't worth it.
Need 1 more
Email sent. I'm in for 1 FCH
we be there with a few more coming. Now lest see if my source for 7075 is still around. It has been that long since I made parts .
Guys been long time, so just want to be sure. Inside of slot where the lug goes back and forth is that 4.786" Or a little less. Need to be sure that the dustcover end on these is minimal length so it doesn't interfere w/ any stock or sling accessories. I sent email to my metals guy to see what he has and how much.
I want one REPR FCH. I EMAILED. I email did not get a reply. Just checking to make sure it still on and I'm on the list. [email protected]. $115 + shipping
yep gotcha down. haven't heard anything from my aluminum supplier. Guess have to search for a new source of aluminum.
Posted on practical machinist looking for new aluminum source. Old outfit, haven't heard from the guy who said they would get back to me.
Reached out to 2 saw cut mills that have 7075. Hopefully that will get decent price on materials.
NOPE , just e-mail me at

Have material in hand starting next week. This Sunday cleaning out the disaster area in shop so I can have some bench top space to work on these.
Payment sent, looking forward to getting this. Thanks again for making these.
so far only got payment from a Ben Rybla. Cut all the 7075, got them all to length and almost height ( extra material I had to cut that mill said they couldn't get me smaller amt of material) and next to width then drill holes rough then finish profile and then to cut the knobs, make some pivots plungers, and lugs.
According to my bank payment should arrive to you tomorrow. Thanks for the progress update.
I remember seeing the old thread getting the group buy together years ago when I was toying with the idea of a folding charging handle, I didn't realize that you had actually made them and were still making them! I'll have to keep you in mind if my current plan for a side-charger doesn't pan out, maybe I can grab one from then next batch.
I also wanted to share with you MountainMan some information I found when doing research for my own attempt at a folding charging handle (I want to try and retain the forward assist function) https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...on-on-mk-i-lwrc-repr-charging-handle.7112839/ I don't know if it's useful to you or not, but I figured I'd share since you were the main reason I joined the forum.

.
forward assist is a big pita to design so that you don't lose that slim FCH design. Have something in my head but that is it. Nothing on paper/digital 3D yet. That MK II will not work too nicely with these L1A1 type FCH as the knob likes to grab the front of the rails, and that fixes the non reciprocating charger. problem is it looks like the MK II has no protruding rails, but the rail is flush with the handguard.
Thanks
Looks like after this will work on FAL T48 chargers and then will get back to REPR LAW inserts. If I am lucky will get the Mazak running and if I ain"t then will have to make these manually on the meager lathe I now have running. Kinda sad I only have this 1HP lathe 
or this 20 HP without the power to it
Top one takes more than an hour each bottom one like 10 mins ( not counting the programming time) max each.

Is that for the mki? That picture is of an mkii.
No its an MKII , picked it up instead of changing the MKI.
