SUPER CHARGING HANDLES Reviews & Ratings

GEISSELE AUTOMATICS SUPER CHARGING HANDLES

The Super Charging Handle (SCH) is 3D machined from a solid block of aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminum. Its ambidextrous design allows for seamless operation from either side of the weapon. The levers are dual contoured similar to that of the charging handle of an M14, where not only the x-axis but also the y-axis receive radius cuts.

The handling surface of the lever is checkered, adding a textured grip aiding to the use when operating with gloves. The heightened rear lip of the SCH aids in mitigating gas blow back to the shooter when shooting with short barreled and suppressed weapon systems.

All parts are then Type 3 Hardcoat anodized and are available in black and DDC (Desert Dirt Color).

The item is super lite, almost feels like a piece of plastic but it's not. I had no issues with the fit or finish once it was in the weapon. I plan to use the heck out of it, just to make sure it's money well spent. I don't know if I would buy another at this time just because there are so many other charging handles in that same price range that are already tested and proven in the field. I'll update my review after I get some range time in and really get a better chance to put it thru its paces.

Does not fit in DD mk18 upper

I bought this originally for a 300 blk out upper and it worked perfectly. I then translated it to my mk18 from Daniel Defense and It wont fit in. I took it to a local gunsmith to make sure it wasnt my upper that had an issue. We measured a regular mil spec charging handle, DD Rip and Grip, and the Geissele Super charging handle and the dimension were nearly identical. The milspec and the DD RIP AND GRIP flow perfectly in and out of the upper receiver, there are visible wear marks on the supercharging handle proving it is not up to spec. Sad because I know how well Geissele materials are made.
