The CMMG AR-15 Charging Handle Assembly (brand part number 55BA5EC) is a standard-profile charging handle chambered around the .223 Remington/5.56 NATO AR-15 platform. Machined from aluminum and finished in black, it ships with the latch already installed, so it’s ready to drop into an AR-15 upper without sourcing extra small parts. Whether you’re building a new upper or replacing a worn or damaged charging handle, this CMMG piece gives you a reliable, mil-spec-pattern part from a manufacturer that builds its own complete AR uppers and lowers.
