AR-15 Side Charging Handle, Drop-In No Gunsmithing Required

[GFGear]

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

Damnit my scope mount is a one piece extended mount with knobs on the same side as this thing. I'd really hate to get a today as my check weld is perfect on it. Really cool idea though.

Neat idea.

Kinda wonder why you say in the video that a reciprocating knob is 'not great and not safe' seems that it works great on the AK, SKS, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M-14/M1A, Galil, etc............

Very cool idea. Might have to pick one up for my Black Rain.

This is a very interesting idea. I'm intrigued. If I had an AR, or when I end up rebuilding one, I'll buy one.

I'm interested as well.

The one thing about the AR that always bugged me a little was the CH. Plus good for my lefty leaning ways!!!

I love my ASA upper, but I think I would have rather bought 5 of these for less.... Once you start using the side chargers going back to a "normal" AR is no fun.

 

[Davetex]

Looks like a good idea. I would like to see/try one out before buying though.

A group buy might come in handy here, don't know for sure.

 

[SOliver]

I'd be all over a group buy, especially if it was at the dealer price. Someone set it up.

 

[smittyb]

In for group buy.

I like!!

 

[Davetex]

OK, I guess I'm in for a group buy. Who will be the go to guy?

 

[Orbie]

Seems pretty cool!

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

I'll pick one up. Do you make one for our left handed shooters?

Do you have a lefty upper? Of not I think this thing will hit your shell deflector.

I don't but I have seen them out there. This thing would be really cool for that person who has gone all out to make their rifle left-handed. Maybe be able to make them as needed?
