Questions & Answers
is this red the same as the la red stock? reds match up good? Expert Answer

The Red Fortis Manufacturing Hammer 5.56mm AR15/M16 Charging Handle will not be a perfect match to the LA Stock in red due to material differences. However, it will be the closest option in terms of color matching.

Better Than I Thought by Core-Lokt, Verified Owner, January 26, 2024
The only aftermarket charging handles I'd ever bought were Armaspec and Breek Arms. This Fortis handle is so much smoother and positive-engagement than those.
