Geissele Automatics Airborne AR-15 Ambidextrous Charging Handle - Desert Dirt

The Geissele Automatics Airborne AR-15 Charging Handle (ACH) is a fully ambidextrous, dual-levered, gas-busting charging handle developed at the request of an elite military unit known for its expertise in aerial insertions.

Features:

• Ambidextrous, dual-levered design
• Machined from a solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum
• Dual-contoured, checkered lever surface for gloved use
• Shortened levers reduce snag points and work well with low-profile optics
• Raised rear lip redirects gas from suppressed or short-barreled rifles
• Desert Dirt Color (DDC) hardcoat anodized finish

The shortened levers keep a lower profile than the Super Charging Handle's levers, reducing snag points and making room for low-profile optics, while the raised rear lip helps direct gas away from the shooter's face on suppressed or short-barreled rifles. Geissele's Desert Dirt Color (DDC) finish covers a range of desert terrain shades meant to help break up a rifle's outline; these shades can vary noticeably between batches and are not intended to color-match across parts. For a uniform color across an entire build, Geissele recommends a separate finish such as DuraCoat or Cerakote.

Geissele Automatics was established in 2004 to build high-quality, reliable triggers for competition, starting with the Hi-Speed National Match trigger. That trigger's success led the Department of Defense to request a select-fire version for United States Special Operations, and Geissele later brought a semi-automatic version to the civilian market for law enforcement and personal protection.
