The CMMG Dissent Side Charging Handle, Right Hand, Black (brand part no. 85BA5E7-R) is a forward-mounted, non-reciprocating charging handle built specifically for the CMMG Dissent platform. CMMG designed the side-charging system so the shooter can rack the bolt quickly without breaking cheek weld or optic sight picture, since the handle stays out of the way of a top-mounted rear sight or optic. Because the handle does not reciprocate with the bolt carrier during firing, it stays put once released, keeping the shooter’s support hand free to maintain a stable grip and control the firearm through the cycle. This right-hand-configured version is built to CMMG’s Dissent specifications, dropping in without additional fitting.

• Uses a non-reciprocating design, so the handle does not move with the bolt carrier during firing.
