The Geissele Airborne Charging Handle transforms standard AR-15 manipulation with its ambidextrous design and enhanced grip surfaces. This precision-machined charging handle eliminates the awkward reach required by mil-spec handles, providing reliable operation under stress.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard charging handles that force shooters into compromised positions, the Airborne features extended bilateral latches that accommodate both left and right-handed operation. The enlarged contact surfaces provide 40% more gripping area than mil-spec alternatives. CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with Type III hard coat anodizing, this handle withstands repeated cycling without wear or binding.Key Features
