I haven’t put an AR together for a while so maybe I’m out of touch but 80 bucks for a charging handle? Looks pretty damn large to me.

Yeah, that’s about “average”, you can find some in the $40 range and north of $150.

$140 would be expensive.. however that one is using bearings… so must cost more…
$80 sounds fair.

I always reference to the Radian Raptor-LT which is a standard for most of rifle shooters.

I’ll admit I have an “economical MIL_SPEC” one I keep for backup, but use the overpriced, ambidextrous , keeps the blowback out of your face versions as a primary.
