Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 Charging Handle w/Standard Latch
Very good quality, fits well, good uniform finish and dark anodizing. Also, this uses the stronger 7075 aluminum. As soon as you wear out a few 6061 charging handles, you’ll likely notice the difference. Alongside Palmetto State, this Anderson model is one of my favorite options for affordable mil spec handle.

Priced right. Optics Planet was the lowest price for this item at the time of purchase. Nothing spectacular going on and nothing negative to say. Run of the mill pull starter for freedom seed dispensers.

Used it after finishing lower build. Build was all Anderson so chose to use this charging handle. Seems to function properly while at the range with no problems. Would purchase again if I choose to build again.

I have been Building and Shooting AR-15's for many years. I also had first hand use in the Army. These Charging Handles are as good as any for your Standard AR Repair or Build . They meet all specifications for AR's .
Anderson does a fine job with these AR parts.
Pros:
Good product
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
All .223/5.56 AR15 rifles.
Would recommend: Yes

Was looking for a budget priced charging handle for build for my son. I decided to go with the Anderson handle based on prior recommendations from friends. It has turned out to work just fine. No issues. I don't know what to expect different out of a much more expensive handle, but this has worked flawlessly. Would order again.
Pros:
Functional
Works as advertised
budget friendly
Cons:
None
