Which one is the fake, and which one is legit?

They are also saying arms unlimited is not an official dealer

So fakes may have came that way. They didn't say for sure

AU has been involved with counterfeit Raddlocks (CA bullet button), Accushots, and other products.

Yes, the one on the right is real.

I order most of my accessories through rsr group. They are very reputable.

Easiest way to tell is that the handles on each side are not the same size on the legitimate one.  They are the same size on the fake.

As someone with OCD, I'd rather have the fake.

I ordered mine from rog tactical is that a reputable dealer? My guns in the shop so i can't compare right now. 

I like the fake better as well. Guess my OCD is acting up as well

The roll pins even look better....maybe Rainier can take page from this

having seen at least one broken charging handle I would be hesitant to use an unknown copy...

I like the fake one too. I like balance.

Sorry no. The rainier has coiled roll pins. That means they are under tension and shouldn't move from where you put them, even if you disassemble and reassemble. The simple split roll pin is essneitally disposable. The coiled ones are stronger as well. 

 

Given that the ambi desing means less beefy parts, having more leverage on one side than it was designed for is not a good plan either.

 

Tolerances look way tighter on the real one as well.
