The BCM Asymmetric MK2 Charging Handle (brand part number BCM-GFH-MK2-MED) is a direct upgrade for mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers, machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for strength well beyond a stamped mil-spec handle. BCM built this handle around more than a decade of feedback from real-world combat operations, refining the latch geometry to match how shooters actually run the manual of arms on an M4 or M16 pattern rifle. This version uses the Medium latch, a balance between the low-snag profile of a stock handle and the extra purchase of the Large latch, while the asymmetric shape keeps the support-side profile clean.
