Here is the info! After much researching and looking for suppliers this is what I came up with. CNC machining this part out of 4140 is not very practical. However I looked at alternative methods. Forging and casting. Finally after talking with some Engineers and some metallurgist I have an answer.
I am going to have this part Investment Cast in 4140 steel and then heat-treated for toughness and strength. Parts would then be parkerized black.
Due to low volumes the best price I can offer is $55 shipped.
Although, in order to do this I need to be sure there is enough interest. I would like to know if people would be willing preorder if I would set up a website/Paypal. Once I reach 25 preorders I would be willing to initiate tooling. Parts would then be 10-12 weeks out.
Also due to low volume I have decided only to offer the single finger version see attached picture of model.
For those who are not familiar with the charging handle. It is designed to clear Eotech, Aimpoints optics as well as any other low mounted optics!
