Hawk HWK-ASCDR Ascender Combo Black 7075 Aluminum Charging Handle

The Hawk HWK-ASCDR Ascender Combo delivers enhanced weapon manipulation through its precision-machined 7075 aluminum construction and ergonomic design. This charging handle upgrade transforms standard AR-15 operation with improved grip surfaces and ambidextrous functionality.

What Makes This Different

The Ascender Combo features a dual-latch system that provides 40% more surface contact area compared to mil-spec charging handles. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction offers superior strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining the precise tolerances required for reliable cycling. Hard-coat anodizing provides Class III wear resistance that withstands thousands of charging cycles without degradation.

Key Features

• Precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum construction for maximum durability
• Ambidextrous dual-latch design accommodates left and right-handed shooters
• Enhanced grip texturing provides positive control in wet or gloved conditions
• Compatible with standard AR-15/M16 upper receivers and BCG assemblies
• Hard-coat Type III anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
• Oversized latch surfaces reduce effort required for charging operations
• Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or special tools

Field performance demonstrates consistent reliability across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The enlarged contact surfaces distribute stress more effectively than standard latches, reducing component wear during high-volume training sessions. Competition shooters benefit from the reduced charging effort during rapid reloads, while tactical applications gain from the positive engagement even with heavy gloves or under stress conditions.
