Reviews & Ratings for SIG SAUER Charging Handle Assemblies
— 9 reviews — Page 1
Let me start by saying that I love Sig products. One of the reasons is that I am left handed and Sig makes their 716 rifles with many ambitious features except their charging handles. This is a sad fact since Sig products are very expensive. So I was thrilled to learn that Sig decided to make an ambitious charging handle. I backordered two charging handles and after waiting three months it shockingly arrived. It fits perfectly on my 716i Tread and also on my 2nd generation 716 DMR 308!!!. Now I feel that my two Sig 716s are finally complete. Keep in mind that these charging handles hav...

The stock photo shows an older version of this CH. The actual delivered product looks a lot more streamlined. Fits the 716i tread just fine. Definitely more functional than the OEM handle and looks better as well.
Pros:
None
Cons:
Expensive
Would recommend: Yes

Needed an extended charging handle for my original piston driven SIG 716, turned out mil-spec AR10 charging handle does not work (tip does not grab the bolt carrier). This charging handle worked out excellent!
Best Used for:
Sig 716i
SIG 716
Would recommend: Yes

I have a Sig gen 1, 716 DMR. It is not ambi. I phoned Sig to verify if this handle would fit my rifle. Their response way "It should, but not sure". I gambled and ordered it. Fits and functions perfectly and is better than the original C.H.
Pros:
Better than gen 1 charging handle
Cons:
None
Would recommend: Yes

It's the best ambi charging handle you can get for the 716i since it's proprietary and of course OP had it in stock. Installs how you'd expect, works how you'd expect. Nice piece from Sig.

Once I received this charging handle I installed it and realized I should've had it higher on my priority list. The picture makes it look like it has wings sticking way out, it does not. In my opinion it is just the right size. I don't like larger than need be controls on my guns and this one is just right for me. Much better functionality. Definitely recommend.
Pros:
Much better functionality all around
Cons:
May be too small for those that like large to huge charging handles
Best Used for:
Everyone, it's ambidextrous
Would recommend: Yes

It makes a worldly difference on my 716i Tread with comparison to the one came with the gun. It was really hard to operate on the old one, almost made me feel like jam whenever pulling the charging handle. This ambidextrous CH solves everything, it fits well with 716i and makes it easy & smooth and less friction as well.
Pros:
easy to use
Fits well
Ambidexterous
Cons:
nope, none
Would recommend: Yes
