Geissele Automatics 05497S Airborne Charging Handle DDC Aluminum Ambidextrous Hand

The Geissele Automatics Airborne Charging Handle is a precision-machined component crafted from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum for exceptional durability and lightweight performance. Its ambidextrous design allows for seamless operation from either side of your firearm, providing versatility and ease of use in various shooting scenarios. The dual contoured levers feature radius cuts on both the x- and y-axes, inspired by the charging handle of the M14, enhancing ergonomic grip and control. The textured, checkered handling surface ensures a secure grip, even when operating with gloves or in adverse conditions.

All parts are finished with Type 3 hardcoat anodizing for corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. This high-quality charging handle is suitable for AR-15 and M16 platforms, offering reliable performance and a streamlined profile for demanding shooting applications.
