Next Level Armament Ambidextrous Charging Handle Black
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.
