Product Info for Geissele Airborne Charging Handle, 5.56x45mm NATO

The Geissele Airborne Charging Handle, 5.56mm is the perfect attachment for those who want a more reliable firearm without compromising mobility in the field. These AR Charging Handles from Geissele feature a lower profile lever design that reduces the chances of snagging, ensuring nothing stops you from reaching your objective. Each Geissele Ambidextrous Airborne Charging Handle is 3D-machined from a solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum complete with a Type 3 hardcoat anodize for added resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Checkered handling surfaces improve grip, especially while wearing gloves, and the taller fence at the rear redirects gas blow back that may occur while shooting with short barreled or suppressed weapons.
