PA10 Charging Handle Options

Hi guys does anyone know what after market charging handles are compatible. Can I use any ar10 charging handle or is the pa10 one proprietary.

Does the standard ar10 radian CH work, or does the psa ar 10 need the radian CH designed for DPMS gen 2 uppers?

A standard ar10 ch will work.

I tried a Raptor in my gen3 and got a lot of rubbing, wore the finish off the top of my upper just running it a dozen times. So, just bought the PSA ambidextrous and am definitely not impressed. Advertised as aluminum but it has a steel catch, handles, and bottom plate.
I’m still looking too!
Anybody have more ideas? Does the Geissele SCH work?

The Geissele ar10 handle will work. I can’t remember what I have. Originally I had a KAK but the channel was cut too short and the bcg hit it so hard when I fired that it broke the latch off.

Thanks for the reply, that is good to know!

I will add, My Gen II’s also work great with the ODIN Works , and the Seekins Precision.

I have recently assembled a PSA PA10 Gen3 308 upper assy and lower receiver. I added the Geissele SCH and was having the same rubbing issue as others. I compared the milspec CH to the Geissele and found the problem. I found the Geissele SCH had too much material near the end where the gas key slides causing the bcg to lift and create tension inside the upper (bcg fully forward). When this happens, that extra tension causes the rough drag feel and wear on the bcg and inside the upper. I took my Dremel and shaved down the excess material near the gas port hole enough to allow the bcg to slide freely without bindage. Now it functions smooth as butter.

Alfred, I’m having the same issue. Can you share a picture of where you shaved material from your charging handle?

Can confirm this as well. Gen II

I hope this is the place to ask since this indirectly replaces the charging handle.

Does anyone know what side charging uppers are compatible with the Gen 3?

Guys does anybody know if the Radian Raptor LT Ambidextrous AR-10/SR-25 Charging Handle will work fine?
I would like to buy it and the ambi safety selector from Radian also.

Thank you SuperPredator for the info.
Do you by any chance has the Radian ambi selector too?

No, I don’t have the selector switch. Sorry.
