Geissele Airborne Charging Handle ACH 5.56 Black

Description

The Geissele Airborne Charging Handle (ACH) is an ambidextrous charging handle engineered for modern AR-style rifles chambered in 5.56. It is 3D-machined from aircraft-grade 7075‑T6 aluminum and finished with a Type III hardcoat anodize for durable, corrosion-resistant protection. The ACH features shortened, dual-contoured levers with checkered surfaces to improve positive manipulation, including when wearing gloves. The lower-profile lever design is intended to reduce the chance of snagging when used with low-profile optics and gear.
