Description

The Geissele Airborne Ambidextrous Charging Handle is an AR-15 replacement charging handle designed with a lower-profile lever to reduce the chance of snagging. It is well suited to rifles whose primary sighting system is a red dot or similar low-profile optic.

The ambidextrous handle is 3D machined from a solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in Type 3 hardcoat anodizing in Desert Dirt Color (DDC). The shortened levers are dual contoured with concave radius cuts in both planes, and the handling surfaces are checkered for secure operation while wearing gloves. A taller rear fence helps redirect gas blowback on short-barreled and suppressed rifles. It is chambered for and fits the AR-15 platform in 5.56x45mm NATO.
