A co-worker has a Charles Daly semi-auto 12ga that has a broken charging handle. It's sheared off clean in the bolt.
As far as I can find info it's the early (round-pin handle) version of the Akkar-built shotguns.
He had the same problem happen with it once before and sent it back to KBI when they were still importing them.
It sheared handle #2 shortly after he got it back so it's been sitting in the corner collecting dust for a few years now.
Has anyone else worked with this model and seen a similar problem?
I suspect it's shearing off by the guy slamming the bolt home on an empty chamber (or even with the barrel removed) but I'm not sure. I hate to order a new charging handle for him just see it shear off again after a few rounds.
