Description
The POF Tomahawk is Patriot Ordnance Factory's take on a truly ambidextrous charging handle for large frame .308 and 7.62 NATO AR-10 rifles and pistols. It swaps out your factory handle with a piece that works the same way whether you're pulling from the strong side or the weak side, thanks to matching oversized levers on both ends. Those levers give you real surface area to grab, so palm blading over the top or hooking a thumb and finger both feel natural instead of fumbly.
What Sets the Tomahawk Charging Handle Apart
Every component is CNC machined in the United States from American 7075 billet aluminum, then finished with a black Type III hardcoat anodize that shrugs off wear and corrosion. The levers are sized to hit that sweet spot: big enough to get positive traction under recoil or with gloves, but trimmed down enough that they stay out of your way when you're behind glass. Owners running magnified optics and magnifiers regularly point out that the handle profile clears their gear without catching fingers. The design also carries the laser-engraved look inspired by POF's American Patriot Tomahawk, which is a nice touch that tends to draw comments at the range.
Fit and Real-World Feel on the AR-10
This is the AR-10 length version, so it drops into standard large frame .308 / 7.62 uppers. Shooters who've replaced sloppy or out-of-spec factory handles on platforms like the PSA Gen 2 AR-10 have noted noticeably smoother, easier cycling afterward, especially when working the action with their support hand. It weighs next to nothing, so you're adding ambidextrous control without adding heft to the top of your rifle.
One thing worth knowing before you order: the Tomahawk is built for standard large frame AR-10 pattern rifles and will not fit a SIG 716. If you're running a common .308 AR platform, this is a straightforward, well-built upgrade that pays off every time you run the bolt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the POF Tomahawk charging handle fit my rifle?
This is the AR-10 length version, so it fits standard large frame .308 and 7.62 NATO uppers and pistols. It is not compatible with the SIG 716, so double-check your platform before installing. If you're running a common AR-10 pattern rifle, it drops right in as a direct replacement for your factory handle.
Is the Tomahawk actually ambidextrous, or just left-side friendly?
It's fully ambidextrous with matching oversized levers on both sides. You can run it identically from the strong side or the support side, whether you prefer palm blading over the top or grabbing it with a thumb and finger. That makes it a solid pick for left-handed shooters and anyone who trains to run the gun from either hand.
What is the POF Tomahawk charging handle made of?
All components are CNC machined in the USA from American 7075 billet aluminum. It's finished with a black Type III hardcoat anodize, which is the tougher grade of anodizing built to resist wear and corrosion. That combination keeps it light while standing up to hard use.
Do the larger levers get in the way of optics?
The levers are sized to give you plenty to grab while staying low profile enough to clear most setups. Owners running magnified optics and magnifiers have found the handle clears their gear without snagging fingers during a pull. If you have larger hands, the extra real estate on the tabs is a real plus.
