The Yankee Hill Machine Charging Handle Latch is an oversized tactical latch machined from steel and finished in matte black Melonite, brand part number YHM-281. Built bigger than a standard mil-spec latch, it gives a gloved or cold hand more surface area to grab under stress, and it is designed to bolt onto most standard AR-platform charging handles without other modification. This listing is for the latch only; it does not include a roll pin or the charging handle body itself, so it is meant as a direct upgrade for an existing handle rather than a complete replacement.
