Watchtower Firearms CHA10 AR-10 Ambidextrous Charging Handle 7075-T6

The Watchtower Firearms CHA10 transforms AR-10 operation with true ambidextrous functionality and enhanced grip surfaces. This precision-machined charging handle eliminates the awkward reach required with standard mil-spec handles, allowing both right and left-handed shooters to operate the action smoothly from either side.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard charging handles that force left-handed shooters into compromised positions, the CHA10 features dual latches that engage simultaneously for consistent operation. The enlarged contact surfaces provide 40% more gripping area than mil-spec handles, while the 7075-T6 aluminum construction delivers superior strength-to-weight ratio. Gas venting channels redirect combustion gases away from the shooter's face during rapid fire sequences.

Key Features

• True ambidextrous operation with dual spring-loaded latches
• 7075-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
• Enlarged grip surfaces with aggressive texturing for positive control
• Gas deflection channels reduce blowback during suppressed fire
• Drop-in compatibility with all AR-10 and SR-25 pattern rifles
• Extended latch design accommodates tactical scopes and optics
• Corrosion-resistant black finish rated for 10,000+ cycles

Competitive shooters benefit from the reduced cycle time during rapid strings of fire, while tactical operators appreciate the consistent function under stress. The enhanced grip texture maintains positive control even with wet or gloved hands. The gas deflection system proves particularly valuable when running suppressed configurations, redirecting hot gases and particulates away from the shooter's face and optics.
