Just what I needed

This combo item is just what I needed, as I am left-handed. The AR seems designed for righties. These parts are quality made & make the gun so much easier & safer to operate as a leftie. Easy to install & match the color of my gun. I watched a couple YT videos on installing the ambidextrous safety, as I hadn't taken that area apart yet. Those helped a lot, as there are 3 tiny springs & pins that want to pop out & would be easy to lose. But it went together fine & now I can operate the lever from Safe to Fire as it should be, from the firing hand's position. Brownell's customer service on this order was topnotch as well. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Nice product

This is a definite upgrade over basic milspec parts. Very nice feel, I’m not sure the price is totally justified but I’m satisfied with the purchase.

Excellent charging handle and safety switch

Radian handle and safety switch are great and very positive. It would be nice if safety levers were a bit longer but this doesn’t present a real issue.

Great ambi charge handle

Bought one of these as a stand-alone charge handle for a 7.5 pistol build and now for a 16 inch rifle. Have put it through some failure to fire drills and the area to grab is much better that the basic charge handles. Larger latches better positive grab and beefy to boot. The safety selector is held in place with a spring loaded pin to hold it in place, different but works i used a battle arms ambi selector and those were screw in. I like the the battle arms a little better but all is good so far so i like it thus far. The cons are it is a little on the expensive side but as a set you really cant get better for the price point you will spend more. Overall good purchase to upgrade your AR platform to ambi controls and charge handle.

Good combo

Great combo packaging two common AR upgrades, the safety and charging handle. Install of the safety was easy and swapping from 45* and 90* is super easy. The charging handle should be stock on all ARs.
