Rise Armament RA-212 Extended Charging Handle Latch Red Aluminum

The Rise Armament RA-212 Extended Charging Handle Latch transforms standard mil-spec AR charging handles into precision manipulation tools. This CNC-machined aluminum upgrade provides enhanced grip surface and extended reach for faster, more reliable charging operations under stress.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic charging handle latches that rely on minimal contact points, the RA-212 features an extended profile with aggressive texturing for positive engagement even with wet or gloved hands. The anodized red finish provides visual identification while resisting corrosion and wear. Installation requires no permanent modifications to existing charging handles, maintaining compatibility across multiple upper receivers.

Key Features

• Extended latch profile increases manipulation surface area by 40% over standard latches
• CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
• Aggressive diamond-pattern texturing prevents slippage during operation
• Drop-in replacement for all mil-spec AR-15 and AR-10 charging handles
• Distinctive red anodized finish for quick visual identification
• Precision-machined spring channel ensures consistent latch engagement
• Weighs 0.3 ounces, adding minimal weight to the rifle system

Competitive shooters benefit from the increased speed during rapid reloads and malfunction clearances. The extended surface allows for ambidextrous operation without repositioning the firing grip. Law enforcement and military users appreciate the positive engagement when wearing tactical gloves or operating in adverse conditions. The enhanced leverage reduces effort required for charging handle manipulation during high round count training sessions.
