The LWRC 2000079A01 Ambidextrous Charging Handle transforms standard AR-platform operation with dual-sided manipulation capability. This precision-machined component eliminates the need to break shooting position when operating from either shoulder. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum with hardcoat anodizing, it delivers enhanced ergonomics for competitive shooters and tactical professionals.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard mil-spec charging handles that require right-hand operation, this ambidextrous design features extended latches on both sides of the upper receiver. The oversized contact surfaces provide positive engagement even with gloved hands or under stress. Each latch operates independently, allowing single-handed manipulation from either side while maintaining secure lockup during firing cycles.
Key Features
- Dual ambidextrous latches for left and right-hand operation
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hardcoat anodizing
- Compatible with AR-15 and AR-10 platform upper receivers
- Extended latch surfaces for positive grip with tactical gloves
- Precision CNC machining ensures proper headspace and timing
- Black finish matches standard military specification components
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or modifications
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and extended firing sessions. The hardcoat anodized finish resists wear from repeated cycling and environmental exposure. Competition shooters benefit from faster reloads during rapid-fire stages, while law enforcement and military users maintain weapon readiness during tactical transitions. The robust construction handles the increased bolt carrier velocity of gas-adjusted systems and suppressed configurations.
