The Gen 2 Suppressor Normalized Ambidextrous Charging Handle (SN-ACH) is a patented, modernized, feature-rich charging handle that will satisfy any AR-15 user. The Gen 2 SN-ACH features an improved gas check groove and a forward-facing 60-degree gas vent that reduces gas in the shooter's face when using a suppressor by ejecting it forward and to the side of the firearm. The updated Gen 2 SN-ACH also has a beveled rear shoulder to capture gases escaping from the rear of the receiver and redirect them forward and to the sides instead of into the shooter's face. Better fitment and machining of the Gen 2 SN-ACH create a tighter seal between the handle and your upper receiver, resulting in less gas leakage at the rear of the receiver.
