The BCM MK2 Ambidextrous Medium Latch Charging Handle is one of those parts you install once and stop thinking about, which is exactly what you want from a charging handle. Bravo Company took over ten years of feedback from real-world use and rolled it into a design that runs clean, grips easy, and holds up to abuse. The medium latch extends past the main body about 0.92 inches, so it gives you noticeably more to grab than a standard Mil-Spec latch without the bulk of the large version. Both sides are fully ambidextrous, meaning you can work the action with your support hand, your firing hand, or whatever grip the situation calls for.
The big story here is gas management. Anyone who has run a suppressed AR knows how much blowback comes right back at your face, and the MK2 attacks that problem with upper, lower, and side exhaust channels that route gas away from you during the cycle. These channels are dialed in for BCM's own MK2 upper, but they still cut down on gas on any Mil-Spec upper receiver. Folks running cans have noticed the difference, with many saying it drops the gas to the face down to almost nothing when paired with a well-tuned rifle.
Each MK2 medium latch handle is machined from 7075 T6 aluminum using Mil-Spec grade forgings and finished with a hard coat anodizing per Mil-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2. The engagement surface is smooth and snag-free with no pinch points to catch skin or gear during a fast manipulation. BCM also redesigned the geometry to pull load off the pivot pin and keep the charging energy closer to the rifle's centerline, which is a big part of why these feel so solid when you rack them.
If you've been comparing it against pricier ambi handles from other brands, this one earns its keep. It's a no-drama upgrade for anyone building or refreshing a Mil-Spec AR-15 who wants better ergonomics and cleaner running. Just note it's meant for direct impingement guns and is not made for adjustable gas keyed bolt carrier groups.
It's built for Mil-Spec AR-15 direct impingement upper receivers, so it drops right into standard flat-top guns. It is not designed for adjustable gas keyed bolt carrier groups, so keep that in mind if your build runs one. The gas channels are optimized for BCM's own MK2 upper but still improve gas diversion on any Mil-Spec upper.
The medium latch extends about 0.92 inches past the main body, which gives you more purchase than a standard Mil-Spec latch without going as far out as the large version. It's a nice middle ground for most hands and grip styles. If you run gloves or want maximum leverage, the large latch is also offered.
Yes, that's a big reason people buy it. The upper, lower, and side exhaust channels route gas away from the shooter, and users running cans report a real reduction in blowback, especially on a well-tuned rifle. It works best paired with a BCM MK2 upper but still cuts gas on standard Mil-Spec uppers.
It's machined from 7075 T6 aluminum using Mil-Spec grade forgings, then finished with a hard coat anodizing to Mil-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2. That combination gives it the durability BCM is known for. The design also reduces load on the pivot pin for a more solid feel when you rack it.
