The Strike Industries ARCH-EL (Extended Latch) charging handle is a CNC-milled 7075-T6 aluminum upgrade with a hard-anodized finish and an enlarged latch surface that gives you positive engagement in gloves, in adverse conditions, and when reaching around a low-mount optic or magnifier. Features: Milled 7075 T-6 aluminum construction Hard-anodized black finish Enlarged extended latch - easier to hit under stress and around optics Polished bearing surfaces for a smooth, clean charge Gas-diverting geometry vents blowback gases away from the shooter's face Available in AR-15 and AR-10 body sizes - verify platform before ordering Fitment: This listing is the AR-15 body. Drops into any mil-spec AR-15 upper receiver - no permanent modification required. Remove your existing charging handle, slide the ARCH-EL into the charging-handle channel, and reinstall the bolt carrier group. Hand-cycle several times before live-fire to confirm smooth engagement.
