Since development of the AR platform, operators have dealt with the same fatal flaw. Charging handle snags that cause unwanted weapon charging, rendering the gun unusable from being locked out of battery or causing a jam/malfunction. Our patent pending design features a dual locking mechanism that has finally solved this decades long issue. Deadlock(TM) utilizes a conveniently located button at the rear of the charging handle that must be depressed for the handle to operate as intended. This feature can also be bypassed should the operator choose by pinning the button in the depressed position with included roll pin.Unique features include: Truly ambidextrous wing design with independent latch engagement; allowing the charging handle to continue normal operation with either wing missing. This design also provides equal wing tension for smoother operation Aggressive wing and button texturing provide a secure grip in even the harshest environments Angled gusset at gas key contact point proves 30% greater strength than standard charging handles, resulting in less failures during hard use Precision milled from aircraft grade 7075 aluminum and type III hard anodized for longevity and corrosion resistance High shelf design for reduced gas blowback in suppressed rifles.
