Most Helpful Positive Review Works as expected and AMERICAN MADE
If you compare this with Strike Industries they are apples to apples. Both look great and work as expected. The big plus for me is that Rise Armament is American made. I'm all for getting competitive pricing but also want to promote the companies that do it in the good ol' red white and blue.
Most Helpful Negative Review WAY TOO TIGHT!
Drops in upper with zero issues, but will not rack without significant force. It will even lock its self in place when pulled all the way to rear without a magazine or holding the bolt catch. Not a good alternative.

Solid charge handle

by Tymyddeus Owen, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on September 7, 2024
I'm running it in an American Tactical poly hybrid upper. It was a little sticky at first, but broke in real quick. It feels nice and solid. I'll probably run with this charging handle on my next couple builds.

easier to charge round below scope

by moscols, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 14, 2024
Easy to install, “sticky “ at first…needed a little break in and lubricant but operating well. The extension makes it a bit easier to charge the chamber when you have a scope mounted. I’m using an AGM thermal and this handle helps getting my fingers on the handle and I Don’t need to get under the scope. Overall I am pleased
Best Used for:
  • low mounted scopes
Would recommend: Yes

best in price class

by Slick Daddy, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on January 9, 2024
I have bought probably 6 of these charging handles. All for around 30 bucks each. 7075-T6 aluminum means you have a strong material youre working with, not that cheaper 6061. NEVER go with a 6061 charging handle.

A 7075-T6 aluminum extended charging handle for 30 dollars is all you need to know. The only downside I have found is they have this dura coat or something on them thats sorta chalky and can cause a tight fit in some uppers. Definitely gonna want to apply a healthy coat of lube to this bad boy before you stick it in. Dont wanna go in dry, too much friction. Anyway, once some of the coating wears down theyve functioned fine in my rifles. PSA, BCM, BCA, Ballistic Advantage are brands that i own and have put these charging handles in.

You dont need to spend 70 to 100+ dollars to get a good charging handle. These are great and punch well above their pricepoint. Get one and try it.

Rise Armament chargng handle

by Trent Girten, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on August 8, 2023
So I originally tried to get the one in green so that it would match my aero M4E1. Unfortunately I didn’t notice that it wouldn’t ship until several months later. Customer service however was amazing and they worked with me to not only cancel and reorder in a different color but they also gave me a discount.

I got it in black and I even ordered a red replacement lock lever and I’ll tell you it looks amazing I love it there are absolutely no flaws except make sure the original roll pin is flush (if you don’t replace it)
Mine was not and it almost scratched the cerakote finish on my rifle. Other than that it’s perfect
Pros:
  • Looks Bad A$$
Cons:
  • Roll pin
Best Used for:
  • AR - 15
Would recommend: Yes

Great price, just as good as Vltor and BCM

by Juan, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on April 6, 2023
Great price, just as good as Vltor and BCM. Fit and finish are excellent, NO pinch area when using, gently goes into the Upper Receiver charging handle retention indention. The latch is made from aluminum to decrease wear on the Upper Receiver charging handle retention indention. No need to pay those over inflated Vltor or BCM prices - and yes Virginia, I has both of them. The latch goes up against the charging handle housing when fully actuated, NOT depending on the roll pin. Note: fits and functions perfectly in my Wilson Combat Upper Receiver. Almost forgot, Life Time Warranty.
Pros:
  • Waranty
  • Price, Fit, Function
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • everything
Would recommend: Yes

100% satisfaction

by Will, from AL, United States Written on April 25, 2022
Just got it today with rise armament bcg,trigger, and charging handle 400 rounds today. Charging handle has a good feel. Trigger has the shortest reset out of any I have Bcg is light weight finish makes it easy to clean. You can tell the difference in how smooth it feels next to mil-spec has to be less friction.over all great feel to my rise armament build I'm 100% satisfied.
Pros:
  • Completely changes the feel to you ar
  • Shorter reset then lantac
Cons:
  • Charging handle has great feel.
Would recommend: Yes

Might not work in every upper but…

by Eric, Verified Owner from NM, United States Written on April 12, 2022
It works perfectly in mine. This build uses a slickside billet upper and this handle not only looks great but fits perfectly. I bought a rave 140 trigger for my 6.5 grendel build from optics planet and this charging handle was included for free. I prefer ambi or latchless charging handles but this one was just meant to be. I was skeptical that it would fit my upper well after reading so many reviews that it’s too tight, and it’s definitely snug, but I can rack it with no issues. Also I’m sure that after a while it will wear down and feel really smooth. It was free, and it’s 100% for sure staying on this build.
Pros:
  • Looks great
  • Free
  • solid construction
Cons:
  • May not fit in some upper receivers
Best Used for:
  • Slickside billet uppers
Would recommend: Yes
