Description:

The Perfect Piece for Your Retro AR-15

For those fans of the classic retro AR-15 look, Brownells has teamed up with Nodak Spud to produce the Brownells Retro AR-15 Triangle Charging Handle. This charging handle is not an approximation but a carefully researched, detailed replica of the charging handle found on early, much-sought-after "601" rifles issued to the Air Force in the early 1960s.

In fact, to distinguish our reproduction from originals, we had to engrave "BRN" hidden away at the bottom to prevent these from being confused with the genuine article.

Key Features:

Features the correct triangle shape like the originals
Fits & functions correctly in any standard, current-production mil-spec AR-15 upper receiver
Constructed of high-grade 6061 T6 aluminum
"Colt gray" hardcoat anodized finish

If you’re building a 601 replica using our M16A1 upper and lower receivers, along with reproduction stock, pistol grip, and handguard, the Brownells Retro AR-15 Triangle Charging Handle is a must-have component.

Definitely recommended

Great replica, bad charging handle 08/09/2018

OK, if you want to build an accurate original Colt 601, you must have this charging handle... once you get it, you will realize why it was replaced by the standard AR-15 charging handle of the M16E1. This thing hurts to use, it is much tinier than the pictures suggest. My recommendation? Buy it, put it on your 601 build. But when you go shooting, put on a real charging handle. Seriously, this thing will cheese grater your thumb and forefinger off.
