Strike Industries T-Bone Charging Handle .223/5.56x45mm NATO FDE AR-15

The Strike Industries T-Bone Charging Handle is a latchless, ambidextrous upgrade for your .223/5.56x45mm NATO AR-15 upper. The shaft is precision machined from 7000-series aluminum for an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, while the handles are molded from tough polymer in a Flat Dark Earth finish that blends cleanly into FDE builds.

Unlike a conventional Mil-Spec AR charging handle, the T-Bone uses a patented gas redirect system that allows the shooter to configure how escaping gas vents from the upper receiver when running a suppressor or short-barreled rifle. The result is gas routed away from the shooter's face, rather than blown back into the shooter's eyes or optic. The ambidextrous T-Bone-shaped handle gives both left- and right-handed users positive leverage to run the bolt with equal ease.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the standard charging handle, the T-Bone installs in minutes on any standard AR-15 upper receiver and makes a meaningful difference in comfort and control on suppressed or short-barrel builds where gas blowback is most pronounced. At roughly 6.77" overall length and a featherweight 0.10 lb, it adds serious function without meaningful weight to your rifle.
