Geissele Automatics Airborne AR-15 Charging Handle in Black
Looking for an ambidextrous charging handle that will make operating your weapon a breeze, no matter which hand you’re using? Look no further than the Geissele Airborne Charging Handle! This tough and durable charging handle’s 3D machined from a solid block of aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminum, making it built to last. Basically, the lever is dual contoured similar to that of the charging handle of an M14, so it’s easy and comfortable to use, even with gloves on. Also, the heightened rear lip of the ACH mitigates gas blow back to the shooter when shooting with short barreled and suppressed weapon systems.
Also, because it has a lower profile, it’s less likely to snag on gear. Additionally, all parts are then Type 3 Hardcoat anodized for even more durability. So, if you’re looking for a top-quality charging handle that will make operating your weapon a breeze, choose the Geissele Charging Handle!

Geissele charging handles are precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized finish for corrosion resistance and durability. They are designed as direct drop-in replacements for the standard mil-spec charging handle in any AR-15 upper receiver, using the same installation method and retained by the same upper receiver geometry — no modification required. An enlarged or redesigned latch provides faster, more positive single-hand operation compared to the small standard mil-spec latch, which requires a pinching motion and can be difficult to operate quickly under stress or while wearing gloves. The improved latch geometry allows the shooter to rack the charging handle decisively with a single finger from either side, which is especially important when running an optic that requires a specific head position. Compatible with standard AR-15 upper receivers in 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington, and other calibers using the standard AR-15 upper profile. For shooters who want a proven, quality-built charging handle upgrade from one of the most respected names in AR-15 components, Geissele charging handles are a well-established choice across competition, defensive, and duty builds.
