Most Helpful Positive Review Fits but TIGHT
Picked up a sig 716 but due to putting a scope on I can no longer easily use the stock charging handle, so the difficult search came to find a replacement. Turns out the 716 is unique in several ways, including the charging handle, meaning the design is different than a std 308 AR type. Only two companies make a replacement. The first is a company that only makes for military contracts, and their overstock is only occasionally sold to civilians. And the second company is Phase 5. So this is it folks if you want and extended handle for your 716. It works fine, but it would have been nice if th...

Sig 716i Charging Handle

by Tom P., from MD, United States Written on January 19, 2023
Works Great and Fits perfectly. I am a lefty and is a big improved over a standard charging handle. Also I think the size is just right. Not too big where it snags, but significantly larger than stock.

Great option for your Sig 716i

by Chuck, from TX, United States Written on October 26, 2022
The original charging handle on the 716i can be a challenge to cycle, especially with gloves. The Phase 5 so far has exceeded my expectations. It is quality made, fit and cycles perfectly with no mods needed. I'm now able to easily cycle the rifle, even while wearing gloves.

Works for sig tread

by Zac, from KY, United States Written on October 24, 2022
I got this to replace the crappy original charge handle the sig tread ar10 has and this works great. Easy fit. Does not block gas to the face if you suppress the gun, but little silicone will help with that.
Pros:
  • Cheap and fits
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Scoped AR10
Would recommend: Yes

A good charging handle

by Nero, from CA, United States Written on September 8, 2022
If you are looking for a good charging handle for your sig 716 look no futher. It helps when you have a scope attached it will let grasp the charging handle properly. This charging handle is so much better then the original since it bigger to grasp.

better then what i had

by wolfy, from CA, United States Written on August 19, 2022
I have not had the chance to test out but it seems to function in my sig 716 which normal ar-10 charging handles don’t work in. It arrived on the expected day and very well packaged. Had no issues installing the part.

Works well with 716i Tread

by Ty, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on June 17, 2022
This is a good replacement/upgrade for the Sig 716i Tread whose stock part is awful. Honestly I'm not even sure how many alternatives are out there. Even the Sig Pro shop couldn't help and told me any AR10 charging handle would work (that's not correct). Full disclosure, this Phase 5 charging handle is a little goofy looking - but it works well with both hands and does the job just fine. I'll take function over fashion any day when it comes to firearm parts. Price is good as well. Only concern is durability with the ambi-latch, but we'll let time tell on that front. 5 stars for now.
Pros:
  • Price
  • Funcionality
  • Ambidexterous
Cons:
  • Appearance
