The Patriot Ordnance Factory Strike Eagle Charging Handle transforms AR-15 manipulation with true ambidextrous operation and premium 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction. Standard mil-spec charging handles force left-handed shooters into awkward positions and create potential failure points under stress.
What Makes This Different
The Strike Eagle features oversized bilateral latches that allow positive engagement from either side of the receiver. Unlike standard handles that rely on a single pivot point, this design distributes stress across multiple contact surfaces. The 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction provides 50% greater tensile strength compared to forged alternatives while maintaining precise tolerances.
Key Features
- True ambidextrous operation with bilateral oversized latches
- 7075-T6 billet aluminum construction for maximum durability
- Type III hard coat anodized finish resists wear and corrosion
- Enhanced grip surfaces provide positive control in adverse conditions
- Drop-in compatibility with all mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers
- Precision machined tolerances eliminate wobble and play
- Extended latch design accommodates tactical scopes and accessories
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and extended firing schedules. The enlarged contact surfaces distribute operator force more effectively, reducing fatigue during rapid manipulation drills. Competition shooters benefit from faster reload sequences, while tactical applications gain reliability under stress conditions. The hard anodized finish maintains functionality after thousands of charging cycles.
