Description
The Geissele Super Charging Handle is a full-size ambidextrous charging handle for AR-15 pattern rifles. Both levers are dual contoured, radiused on two axes like an M14 charging handle, and the handling surfaces are checkered so you get a solid grab with gloves or sweaty hands. A raised rear lip redirects gas blowback away from your face, which matters on suppressed guns and short barrels.
It is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a Type 3 hardcoat anodize in black, and Geissele lists it at 1.5 oz. It fits AR-15, M4, M16, and HK416/MR556 uppers. Installation is a straight swap for your existing charging handle, no tools. This is the black version. Geissele also makes it in Desert Dirt Color (05-313S).

Who it’s for
3-Gun, Tactical Games, and general purpose AR shooters who want big, grippy levers for fast weak-hand charging and malfunction clearing, especially on a suppressed rifle where the gas lip earns its keep.
Who should skip it
The full-size levers stick out. If you run a low-mount red dot, sling the rifle tight, or move through brush and gear, the Geissele Airborne Charging Handle has shortened levers that snag less. The Radian Raptor, which we also carry, is the other common pick if you prefer its lever shape.
