The Liberty Charging Handle (LCH) from Sons of Liberty Gun Works is designed to increase form and function in both suppressed and unsuppressed rifles. It is ambidextrous to allow fluid consistent motion when utilizing either strong or support side shooting. The size and shape of the latches allow for a snag-free operation. The LCH employs a raised lip at the rear creating a seal in the back of the upper receiver to interrupt gas during suppressed fire.
