The Watchtower Firearms CHA15 transforms AR-15 operation with true ambidextrous functionality and precision-machined 7075 aluminum construction. This charging handle eliminates the awkward reach-around for left-handed shooters while providing enhanced grip surface for all users. Military-grade materials ensure consistent performance across thousands of charging cycles.
What Makes This Different
The CHA15 features dual operating levers that extend equally on both sides, unlike standard mil-spec handles that favor right-handed operation. Each lever incorporates aggressive serrations for positive grip even with wet or gloved hands. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction provides 40% greater tensile strength compared to standard 6061 aluminum charging handles, rated for over 10,000 charging cycles without wear.
