Overview

The NLX556 Ambi CH-S is Next Level Armament's original AR-15 ambidextrous charging handle assembled with smaller latch ears. The body and latch design are the same as the NLX556, still machined from 7075 aluminum; only the ears shrink, which Next Level made at the request of customers who wanted less width at the rear of the upper.

That makes it the better fit for a rifle carried in a scabbard or worn on a sling against the body, where the full-size ears can catch. It still gives both hands a latch to work, so a support-side or left-handed manipulation does not need a different technique.

Key Features

  • Smaller ambidextrous latch ears
  • Same body and latch design as the NLX556
  • Machined from 7075 aluminum
  • Fits standard mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers

Pros

  • +Slimmer than the full-size NLX556
  • +Keeps true ambidextrous operation
  • +Lower price than the original NLX556

Cons

  • −Smaller ears are harder to find with heavy gloves
