The Devil Dog Concepts Hard Charger (Devil Dog Concepts part no. DDCHC031) converts a standard AR-15 upper to a side-charging configuration, letting you rack the bolt from the side of the receiver instead of reaching over the top for a traditional rear charging handle. The folding handle design keeps the handle tucked in against the receiver when not in use, staying out of the way of a mounted optic or your cheek weld, then folds out for a fast, positive grip when you need to charge or clear the rifle. It is a popular upgrade for shooters who run a low-mounted optic or simply prefer the ergonomics of side charging.
