The LMT Tactical 7.62mm Charging Handle in Black (LMT part no. LM308CA) is a short-latch charging handle built for LMT’s MWS 7.62×51 upper receiver platform, giving shooters running low-profile optics or offset accessories more clearance to rack the handle. The short throw design keeps the support hand from fouling on scopes or magnifiers mounted close to the receiver. LMT machines these handles to the same fit as its own MWS uppers, so it delivers a smooth, positive charge every time. It’s a simple, high-value upgrade for anyone running a cluttered optics setup on a 7.62 AR10-pattern rifle.
