Most Helpful Positive Review Sturdy, smooth functioning ambi charging handle to rival the competition
I bought two of these for two custom AR15 builds I am doing. I have Raptor's on both of my other AR's, but they are really expensive (but worth it). I needed something of similar quality but something that would not break the bank. I bought these thinking "what do I have to lose?". If they aren't g...

Most Helpful Negative Review Not so good for me
I used this on my ks47 after about 4 magazine (120 rounds) it broke. That ended my time at the range. Im assuming maybe the ks47 has to much of a kick for the charging handle, maybe in a regular 5.56/223 it would probably be ok to use based on the positive reviews I’ve seen. For me it was a let down...

Feels Cheap

by Matt P, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on November 18, 2025
Better than a mil spec CH but would spend the extra money on something nicer. Felt cheap and had some issues locking up to receiver

Broke after less than 2k rounds fired

by Kyle, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on August 11, 2025
Thought this was a great budget alternative charging handle. However after maybe 1500 rds into using it, my bcg keeps getting stuck halfway back and jamming my rifle. I add extra lube and it works okay but requires the forward assist a few times. I get home from the range and go to clean my rifle to find that the front of the charging handle, where the hole is for the gas tube has split and bent backwards. It looks good and has great grip, but will not last and is unreliable
Pros:
  • easy grip, looks nice
Cons:
  • will snap
Best Used for:
  • Show guns
Would recommend: No

All I can say, "JUNK"

by SubVet, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on July 29, 2025
I've had 2 break on me, don't waste your money. The both broke the same way, the pin on left side came out and the handle fell off. Very use on them. Either buy a good enhanced one, or stick with a regular mil-spec.
Pros:
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • Junk
Best Used for:
  • paper weight
Would recommend: No

Misleading search results, but good product

by Zeus, Verified Owner from MO, United States Written on April 11, 2025
This is for an AR10. When searching, it came up as compatible with an AR15, but when I threw it in my rifle, it sticks out about an extra half inch or so, which makes it unable to latch. Still technically works, but isn't a good solution. Besides that it seems good quality, but can't attest to that too much because I haven't been able to actually run it on what it's intended for
Best Used for:
  • AR10 (LR-308) builds.
Would recommend: Yes

Looks good to start, but the Aluminum is too soft

by Beware, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on February 3, 2024
Worked well when I opened it. After a few hundred round through the Aero M5. the hook at the end became so deformed it would no longer install back into the gun. Look for the 7075 Aluminum models out there.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Substandard Material
Would recommend: No

Warranty Replacement

by Squibward, from NJ, United States Written on January 12, 2024
I've never had a charging handle break by the gas tube before. Questionable quality of metal. I purchased 3 of these at the same time and 1 failed a little after 2 years of light use. Warranty service was a bit of a fiasco and I had to do my own digging to get this sent out to me. Baffles me why Trybe could not reach out to OP to see if they had any left I had to figure that out myself after multiple back and forth emails.

Glad to have a replacement. Curious how long it will last before I have to replace it with something more reliable.
