This is an absolute must buy and do - Strike Industries Charging Handle Extended Latch

I cannot believe how less than $10 can make such a huge change. I bought seven, I’ll be buying more. The quality of this aluminum item is excellent. Not sure why it’s so inexpensive. This makes pulling the charging handle easy and more accessible if you have optics and even if you don’t it makes that process much better. If you care about appearance it looks like it should have been there all along. Just add it to your order and don’t even think about it.
