Breek Arms Sledgehammer Charging Handle Features The Breek Arms Sledgehammer is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum an aerospace grade material chosen for its strength to weight ratio and resistance to the repeated stress of charging a rifle thousands of times. Wide serrated latches measuring 2.59 inches across give the shooter a sure snag free grip for fast manipulation whether running the handle with bare hands or heavy gloves. A Type III hard coat anodized finish protects the aluminum against wear and corrosion while keeping the handle s black appearance consistent over years of use. At just 1.1 ounces the handle adds negligible weight to the rifle despite its reinforced construction. What sets the Sledgehammer apart is its focus on gas reduction incorporating more gas blocking features than any other charging handle on the market. A raised shelf at the rear of the upper receiver combines with an innovative keyway cutout to block gas from reaching the shooter s face while patented internal baffling inside the stem creates turbulence that slows gas expansion before it escapes. A back pressure port and aggressive relief cuts on the top and bottom further direct gases away from the shooter which matters most when running a suppressor that increases backpressure. Fitting all mil spec AR15/M16 rifles with no gunsmithing required the Breek Arms Sledgehammer is a direct upgrade for suppressed and unsuppressed shooters alike.
