The Raptor-LT ambidextrous charging handle aims to alleviate some of the problems with MIL-SPEC Charging handles, without adding excessive weight. The LT features the same heavy duty 7075-T6 aluminum construction, with latches that are then overmolded with high-strength fiberglass reinforced polymer to create the perfect balance of strength, weight, and durability. Where MIL-SPEC charging handles feature a small latch on the left side of the rifle, intended for two-fingers to grasp and charge, the Raptor LT features larger, ambidextrous latches ideal for charging with the blade of your palm for increased speed and reliability.
