The KDG SCAR Non-Reciprocating Charging Handle in FDE (brand part no. SCP5-023) is built by Kinetic Development Group for FN SCAR 16S/17S rifles running the non-reciprocating charging handle configuration. Machined from 1018 steel and finished in FDE Cerakote, it upgrades the factory charging handle with a more positive, snag-resistant grip for faster manipulation under recoil or while wearing gloves. Because it’s a non-reciprocating design, the handle stays stationary during firing, keeping it out of the way of a fast-moving support hand. It’s a direct, no-modification upgrade for SCAR owners looking to match a flat dark earth build while improving handling speed and durability.
