5 charging handles to improve your AR

Your charging handle is easily the most overlooked piece of real estate on your AR15. These controls aid the shooter in clearing a double feed or a case that didnt eject for some reason. Your basic charging handle is a small and alot of stress it put on the tiny 1/16 roll pin. This is a common failing point among the original Charging handles. But not to fret several companies offer several tougher options with extended controls for ease of manipulation!

Fortis Hammer AR15/M16 Charging Handle – Black Teflon

The Fortis Hammer charging handle is machined from 7075 T6 Billet aluminum and is finished in Nickelene which is a smooth finish that adds lubricity for low friction. Weighing just 1.5 oz the charging handle is both durable, yet extremely light reducing the weight of the overall rifle. Aggressive serrations on the latch allow for better handling with or without gloves. Tested and evaluated by the 3 gun community, then put to the test by military, and law enforcement. Charge your rifle by dropping the Hammer and go! .308

The new Fortis Hammer™ charging handle stays true to our brand.  We engineer, design, & develop military grade accessories that look good and functions great.  Tested and evaluated by the 3 Gun community, then put to the test by people in the military and law enforcement community.  We continuously refined our design and came up with the Hammer™.  So charge your rifle by dropping the Hammer™ and go!

Introducing our black teflon finish.  The slick finish is smooth and gives the already durable charging handle a unique finish that’s not common in the market today.

  • Machined from 7075 T6 Billet aluminum
  • The robust design as well as aggressive serrations on the latch and body support use with either shooting gloves or without
  • Redesigned the back stop for the latch, so stress is taken off the roll pin
  • Finished in Nickelene™: Rockwell hardness – 45C, low co-efficient of friction, excellent lubricity characteristics
  • 1.5 oz – durable, yet extremely light

**The finish isn’t a true black anodized color.  It’s a nickel teflon and has metallic grey properties.  We believe it to be darker than gunmetal grey, yet not a true black.

BCM GUNFIGHTER Charging Handle 556 MOD4 Medium Latch

A Charging Handle for the 21st Century Gun Fighter

A NEW Charging Handle and Extended Latch System

Machined from 7075 T6 Billet Hard Coat Anodized per Mil-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2

Medium Latch

The BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Charging Handle and extended latches feature internal redesigns to direct the force off of the roll pin and into the body of the charging handle during support hand only manipulations. This new design has a built in backstop engineered into the extended latch and into the charging handle. As the latch is opened up, its’ travel is limited by these flat surface backstops. With this travel limiting feature, the stress is taken off the roll pin, and is now redirected into the entire body of the charging handle. The BCMGUNFIGHTER™ Charging Handle offers two significant advantages. .308

1. Since the tiny roll pin is no longer the weak point – it is a much stronger system and tactical latch will stay intact even under repeated support side only manipulation.

2. With the force kept inside the body of the handle, when the handle is pulled directly to the rear, it moves directly to the rear and does not angle off to the outboard side. A much smoother operation.
