Most Helpful Positive Review Great price.
Product works well in my DPMS Panther. Seems to be of good quality and the price was right. As always, shipping was excellent by Optics Planet. Received item quickly and in excellent condition. Thanks Optics Planet.
Most Helpful Negative Review Finish wears off
I wanted a different color charging handle to differentiate my AR builds. The red looks awesome at first but after a little use the finish starts to chip off.

Affordable Mil-Spec Charging Handle

by TheAnalyst, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on July 29, 2020
I originally purchased this to see how well the quality and color would be like and I am very surprised at the fact that this was not only affordable, but is a really nice finish and no issues with fitment either. I'll be looking more into GUNTEC parts for replacement and backup parts for my builds.
Pros:
  • good quality
  • Affordable
  • Variety of colors
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR15 Mil-spec Application for Rear Upper Chargin Handle
Would recommend: Yes

Guntec Extended Latch

by Mike, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on March 21, 2019
I have Arthritis in my hands (getting OLD isn't all its cracked up to be) and anymore I cannot get my fingers around the charging handle. With this extended latch I can work the handle with the palm of my had. I am ordering more. It is easy to install and a lot cheaper than buying charging handles with extended or ambidextrous latches which I not have several of.
Pros:
  • Easy to install
  • Looks good
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR - 15
Would recommend: Yes

Good so far

by Zero, from IL, United States Written on September 15, 2018
This completed a build for my son. A red charging handle is a great pop of color and an indicator of what it does. Nothing extraordinary. It’s just a mil spec red charging handle. Put 90 rounds down range with no failures. For my first build(and my last!) I was pleasantly surprised.

Easy to install

by Jude Maynard, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on January 14, 2018
This simple little extension makes shooting feel different in a good way, smooth action easy to grab. You will need a small punch and a block, (preferably) and it will install in less then a minute!!!!
