This complete Charging Handle Assembly was designed as a simple “slide-in” replacement for worn or broken Charging Handles. It includes the superb Badger Extended Tactical Latch which was developed to allow rapid operation of charging handle with the right or left hand, with gloves or without, in the wet, mud and snow or ice. Perfect on flat top AR-15/M16‘s which utilize a scope due to its oversize and extended design, the Badger Tactical Latch is made from 8620 ordnance steel and parkerized with a Mil Spec finish. Currently in service with the United States Marine Force Recon, US Navy SEALs, US Army Rangers and Special Forces as well as the DEA, FBI, Secret Service and dozens of Federal and State law enforcement agencies – made in the U.S.A.
