The Strike Industries ARCHELFDE Extended Latch Charging Handle transforms AR-15 manipulation with its oversized ambidextrous latch design and Flat Dark Earth anodized finish. This charging handle addresses the limitations of mil-spec handles by providing enhanced grip surface area and improved leverage for faster, more reliable operation under stress.

What Makes This Different

The ARCHELFDE features Strike Industries' signature extended latch geometry that provides 40% more surface contact area compared to standard charging handles. The ambidextrous design allows manipulation from either side of the rifle, while the textured grip surfaces ensure positive control even with wet or gloved hands. The proprietary latch mechanism reduces binding and provides smoother operation across thousands of charging cycles.

Key Features

  • Extended ambidextrous latch design for enhanced grip and leverage
  • Flat Dark Earth Type III hard anodized aluminum construction
  • Textured grip surfaces for secure handling in adverse conditions
  • Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers
  • Reinforced stress points to prevent latch failure under heavy use
  • Low-profile design prevents snag on gear and clothing
  • Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or modifications
Field testing demonstrates reliable function across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The extended latch configuration proves particularly beneficial during rapid fire sequences, malfunction clearances, and when operating with optics that limit access to standard charging handles. Law enforcement and competitive shooters report improved manipulation speed during press checks and reload procedures.
