The Strike Industries T-Bone Charging Handle transforms AR-15 manipulation with its distinctive dual-handle design and enhanced grip surface. This charging handle addresses the limitations of standard mil-spec handles by providing increased surface area and improved ergonomics for faster, more reliable operation under stress.
What Makes This Different
The T-Bone's unique dual polymer handle configuration creates multiple grip points compared to single-sided traditional charging handles. The extended handle design provides 40% more gripping surface than standard handles, while the textured polymer construction ensures positive contact even with wet or gloved hands. The aluminum shaft maintains mil-spec dimensions for drop-in compatibility with all AR-15 and M16 upper receivers.
Key Features
- Dual polymer handle design with extended grip surfaces for ambidextrous operation
- Textured polymer handles resist slipping in adverse conditions
- 7075-T6 aluminum shaft meets mil-spec tolerances and dimensions
- Compatible with all AR-15/M16 upper receivers chambered in .223/5.56x45mm
- Black anodized finish matches most rifle configurations
- Drop-in installation requires no modifications or special tools
- Reinforced stress points handle repeated cycling without failure
Field testing demonstrates reliable function across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The polymer handles maintain flexibility in cold conditions while resisting deformation in heat. Law enforcement agencies report improved malfunction clearance times during high-stress scenarios. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent grip reference point during rapid string fire.
