The Radian Weapons Raptor-LT Charging Handle in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) (brand part number R0149) is a lightweight, ambidextrous charging handle built for 5.56mm AR-15/M16-pattern rifles. Machined from 7075 aluminum, the LT (lightweight) version trims material from Radian’s original Raptor design without giving up strength, and both latches use a polymer overmold for a secure, non-slip grip in any weather. Being fully ambidextrous, it charges the rifle the same way whether you run it right- or left-handed. It’s a direct upgrade for any 5.56 AR build that needs a faster, more positive charging handle.
