The Lead & Steel LS-CHODE-FDE Charging Handle for AR-15/M16 rifles is a streamlined, ambidextrous upgrade designed to keep controls low profile while remaining easy to access. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in a Flat Dark Earth Type 3 hard anodize, it offers a durable, smooth feel with reduced-size release levers that stay out of the way of optics and gear.
This charging handle is well suited for range use, training, and general-purpose rifle setups where reliable manipulation and gas management matter. Its set-back latches support one-handed operation, while the raised rear shelf and relief cuts help direct suppressor gases away from the shooter. Built in collaboration with Breek Arms, it reflects Lead & Steel’s focus on thoughtful design and consistent craftsmanship.
