This is more of a metallurgy question. I have a Sig 556, which has a side charging handle like how the AK does. It is at an upward angle, which can get in the way of optics. Griffin Tactical sells a charging handle at a downward angle to avoid optics, but for $75 a pop. What are the risks of putting the old charging handle in a vice and bending it down to a lower angle myself? Any prep work such as heating it up I should do prior to bending?
