Anyone know where I can get a round charging handle for my su16ca?

There is a hack for that. If you take a knife and cut the plastic away from your charging handle...you'll find a stock, round charging handle.

Kel Tec uses a round, metal charging handle as the base when injection molding the square handle.
Cool, huh?

Or go to the Kel Tec website and order a round one.

I can't find it on their website

I decided that the best option is actually a hybrid. I cut away some of the plastic of the "new" handle, so it has a shape resembling an AK handle, but retains the case deflector. This way it continues to work like the "new" handle, but allows to grab it even easier than the original round handle.

Yea im not looking to cut anything away. Just looking for one

Going to Kel-Tec's website is not possible. The part #122 is the only stock number they have for Operating Handle. It's going to be the C revision when it comes in.

Luckily I found one

Just so you know, if you call KelTec and explain you have a C model and that you had FTE's probably caused by the charging handle, they replace it with the old model.

I emailed and I received the replacement within a week.

Just to add to my post above re. stock numbers, the old round handle is apparently #122 and the new "deflector" handle is #422 at the factory. Unfortunately, the web store feels it appropriate to substitute at will.
