Excellent quality with an unmentioned/hidden feature - Spikes Tactical Charging Handle - Forged

Was on the hunt for a basic, no frills, 7075 forged charging handle and have heard/read good things about Spikes, so i tried this one. A few bucks more than others, totally worth it. Stiff, light, and functional.

One difference i did notice vs what im used to for a "mil spec" handle is the handle portion itself is taller/thicker, which basically gives you a 'gas lip/shelf' to minimize blowback past the charging handle to your face.

Its by no means a 'supressor optimized' handle, but, if youre looking for a replacement on an overgassed rifle, this will definitely offer some assistance in that regard. Might not be perfect for the cloning crowd is the only drawback i can imagine for this feature.

Would totally buy again.
