Safety Selector/Charging Handle Latch

[MJBmxz]

I'm looing for two upgrades for my AR10. For the safety selector I'm looking at the B.A.D. A.S.S. http://www.battlearmsdevelopment.com/badass.php

For the Charging handle latch, I'm thinking the BCM Gunfighter Latch

or the Badger Tactical Latch
http://badgerordnance.com/tactical-latch/

Any negatives or positives on these?

I have a Badass on both my ar15 and ar10. I run the longer on the left and shorty on the right. The new generation is a better design. It is definitely worth the money. I have the Badger tactical on my ar15 and 2nd version on the ar10. I prefer the original one over version 2. I think it is hard to grab the smaller latch.

Re: Safety Selector/Charging Handle Latch

The BADASS selector is a nice product that offers you flexibility to setup your ambi-selector to your personal preferences which isn't something that is generally found with other ambi switches on the ARs. I run them and recommend them to anyone wanting/needing an ambi-selector.

As for the larger CH latch...they all generally work well and as advertised. I run PRI Gasbuster CH on my ARs and prefer the extended, combat latch. Again...it all depends on how you'll be running your rifle and what you need/want from a CH/tac latch.

For the charging handle latch, bigger may be better particularlary when racking with the sole of the left hand. Better purchase and leverage. Less chance of missing when under pressure.

Comment on charging handle:
Though it's an AR15, and not an AR10, I ended up with the BCM Mod 3 (longer latch). I tried the Mod 4, but preferred the Mod 3 for optic and sling ring clearance. The BCM charging handle has more material around the pivot pin than the "stock" part.

I guess I'll go with the B.A.D. lever, and the longer BCM charging handle latch. Now to do some shopping.
