Be careful
by Brian -
For some reason, my didn't fit correctly in my Aero Precision M4E1 upper. I had to use some force to get it in. I ended up having to file down the teeth part of the charging handle.
Exactly what I expected.

Its a charging handle. Its aluminum. Its a fair price.
Gets the job done
by Khalid M -
Great charging handle for a great price. I saw a few other reviews talking about a bump on the top of it causing issues. Mine was rubbing on the top of the inside of the upper receiver, but I just put some CLP oil on it and don't have any issues. Very satisfied
Works Well/Would Recommend
by Jim -
I used two of these on recent pistol builds. They fit and function well on both Anderson and Aero uppers with Toolcraft BCG's. I especially like these on pistol builds where a large handle/release would be a possible snag on clothes or gear.
Small grab surface
by Levi -
The actual grab surface is fairly short, shorter than I expected. But I may just be spoiled with the charging handle I have on my other upper. It's also quite smooth so I need to make sure I have a good hold on it before pulling to load the next round. Overall good for it's value. For less than $10 this does the job.
Decent value charging handle
by Justin -
Worked with several of my mil-spec upper receivers. It's a good value, and machined and sized good enough to function properly.
100% confirmed fit And description
by Benjamin -
As a new AR builder, This was my first purchase from this company. This charging handle is exactly as it says, delivered, in a very timely manner including tracking. It is as described, basic mil spec, well finished and smooth. I would order again from the company , and did. When i choose to upgrade, It most likely will be from here as well.
Weak spring
by Michael -
During normal handling of the rifle, the slightest bump of the release lever will unlatch this charging handle. I'll be replacing it soon with something more robust. Other than that, it works and it's inexpensive.
Better than expected
by Chris
Way better than what came in a complete upper from another manufacture. Not sure what people expect from such a simple part !
I'll be buying more of these
Does what you need it to do.
by Dan Mack
It does the job for the price! I’m a fan of Anderson manufacturing lowers so figured give their charge handle a go.
