CMMG Zeroed Ambidextrous Charging Handle 7075-T6 Aluminum AR-15

The CMMG 55BA5A4 Zeroed Ambidextrous Charging Handle eliminates the traditional right-side bias found in standard mil-spec charging handles, providing equal manipulation from both sides of the rifle. This enhanced design reduces training time and increases operational efficiency for left-handed shooters and tactical scenarios requiring off-hand operation.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard charging handles that favor right-handed operation, the Zeroed features dual-sided latches machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for consistent engagement regardless of grip position. The enlarged contact surfaces provide 40% more gripping area than mil-spec handles, enabling positive manipulation even with gloves or under stress. Internal geometry maintains compatibility with all standard bolt carrier groups while reducing operating force by approximately 15%.

Key Features

• True ambidextrous operation with dual oversized latches
• 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
• Enhanced grip surfaces with tactical texturing
• Drop-in installation compatible with all AR-15 upper receivers
• Gas deflection channels redirect blowback away from shooter
• Extended latch design accommodates tactical scopes and accessories
• Mil-spec dimensions ensure proper headspace and timing

Field performance demonstrates reliable cycling across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F without binding or excessive wear. The enlarged contact points maintain positive engagement after 5,000+ cycle testing, while the hard anodized finish resists corrosion in maritime and desert environments. Competition shooters benefit from faster manipulation during rapid strings of fire, while tactical applications gain improved weapon handling during transitions and malfunction clearance.
