The KDG SCAR Reciprocating Charging Handle in FDE (brand part no. SCP5-021) is an ambidextrous charging handle from Kinetic Development Group built for FN SCAR 16S/17S rifles running the reciprocating charging handle configuration. Machined from 1018 steel and finished in FDE Cerakote, it lets left- and right-handed shooters charge the rifle from either side without switching hands or breaking their firing grip. The reciprocating design cycles with the bolt carrier group, giving a familiar, direct feel for shooters used to traditional charging handle operation. It’s a direct upgrade for SCAR owners who want a flat dark earth build with faster, more ambidextrous manipulation and no gunsmithing.
