SOLGW LCH5.56NL Narrow Latch Charging Handle - 7075-T6 Aluminum

The Sons Of Liberty Gun Works LCH5.56NL Narrow Latch charging handle delivers enhanced manipulation speed and reliability for AR-15 platforms. This ambidextrous design eliminates the fumbling associated with standard mil-spec handles during rapid reloads and malfunction clearances.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard charging handles that require shooters to break their firing grip, the LCH5.56NL features dual latches that allow operation from either side of the rifle. The narrow profile reduces snag potential while maintaining full functionality. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, this handle withstands repeated high-stress use where standard handles typically fail after 2,000-3,000 cycles.

Key Features

• Ambidextrous dual-latch design for left and right-handed operation
• 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard coat anodizing
• Narrow profile reduces clothing and gear snag points
• Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 and AR-10 upper receivers
• Extended latch provides 40% more surface area than standard handles
• Gas deflection channels redirect hot gases away from shooter's face
• Self-lubricating bronze bushing reduces wear and maintenance

Field testing demonstrates consistent function across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The handle maintains zero tolerance fit even after extended suppressed fire, where gas blowback typically causes standard handles to loosen. Competition shooters report 15-20% faster reload times compared to mil-spec alternatives. The extended latches provide positive engagement even with heavy gloves during cold weather operations.
