I have been working on this design for over a year, developing and testing different designs and alloys.
It is a no gun smithing required upgrade for the ar-15, it fixes the design flaw of the original charging handle, allowing the operator to maintain his main hand grip on the fire control, while his off hand pulls the side charger back and engages the bolt lock.
The body of the side charger is machined from billet 7075 with a heat treat, it is extremely durable, and VERY rigid, which is important to avoid flex or torque.
The internal parts are made from steel.
The finish is anodized black, with the GFG logo cnc engraved.
Most optics will fit without issue, if there is a clearance issue, a 10$ 1/4 riser on the optic rail will fix it.
I have charged the first part from this prototype run over a thousand times, the only wear has been anodizing beginning to fade on the right side of the charger where it sits inside the weapon.
These come with a 5 year warranty, if it breaks send it back for a new one, no questions asked.
The price is 149.00
