The BCM GFHMK2MED Ambidextrous MK2 Charging Handle transforms standard AR-15 operation with dual-sided manipulation capability and enhanced ergonomics. This precision-machined component eliminates the awkward reach-around required with standard charging handles, enabling faster reloads and malfunction clearance from either shooting position.
What Makes This Different
The MK2 design features extended latches on both sides of the receiver, allowing shooters to operate the charging handle without breaking their firing grip or sight picture. Unlike basic ambidextrous handles that simply duplicate the standard latch, the MK2's geometry provides increased surface area and leverage for positive engagement even with gloves. The medium-profile latches offer optimal balance between functionality and snag-free operation.
Key Features
- True ambidextrous operation with dual extended latches
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Medium profile latches reduce snag potential while maintaining grip surface
- Mil-Spec compatibility fits all standard AR-15 upper receivers
- Black hard-coat anodized finish resists wear and corrosion
- Precision CNC machining ensures consistent tolerances and smooth operation
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or modification
Field performance demonstrates the MK2's reliability across demanding applications from competitive shooting to tactical operations. The extended latches provide positive engagement during rapid-fire strings where standard handles may slip under aggressive manipulation. Weather testing confirms consistent function in temperatures from -40°F to 160°F, while the hard-coat finish maintains grip texture through extended use.
