The Aero Precision BREACH Ambidextrous AR-15 Charging Handle with a small lever in black (brand part no. APRA700100C) is a rugged, precision-manufactured charging handle for the AR15 platform. Its reinforced 7075-T6 aluminum bar is built for demanding use, and the ambidextrous levers use a patent-pending dual-spring system that directs the force of use into the body of the handle. That lets a shooter charge with one side only without stressing the part, a pitfall of traditional mil-spec handles. The small lever keeps the profile low, easy to grip and comfortable when the rifle is slung. A gas deflection shelf redirects gas away from the shooter’s face when shooting suppressed. For an AR-15 build that needs a tougher ambidextrous handle without a bulky lever, this Aero Precision BREACH is a direct upgrade.

Key Specifications

• The platform is AR15, so this handle is made for AR-15 pattern upper receivers.
• The bar is reinforced 7075-T6 aluminum, which gives an overall more rugged part for hard use.
• The finish is anodized black, a durable coating that matches most AR-15 builds.
• The lever type is small lever, a low-profile interface that stays comfortable when the rifle is slung.
• The controls are ambidextrous, allowing quick, effortless manipulation for right- and left-handed shooters.
• A patent-pending lever mechanism transfers the force of use away from the roll pins and into the top of the reinforced bar.
• Reduced chamfer angles on the reinforced bar make it more resistant to rotational flex or breakage.
• A gas deflection shelf lines up with the upper receiver to redirect gas away from the shooter’s face when shooting suppressed.
• Stylistic cuts on the handle help clear carbon and debris from the upper receiver, while the spacer design seals and protects the lever mechanism.
• The weight is 1.36 ounces, light enough to be unnoticeable on a carbine upper.
