Radian Weapons Raptor-LT AR15 Charging Handle Assembly

Ambidextrous AR-15 Handle

The Radian Raptor-LT is a drop-in charging handle for 5.56 AR-15 and M16 rifles. The charging handle is the T-shaped part at the rear of the upper receiver that you pull to chamber a round or clear the action. The Raptor-LT has a latch on each side, so you can charge the rifle with either hand without changing your grip or your eye on the optic. It suits left-handed shooters, anyone who trains for weak-hand manipulation, and builders replacing a basic single-latch handle.

Features

• Ambidextrous Dual Latches — Matching latches on the left and right release the handle from the receiver, so either hand can run it.
• Oversized Textured Grips — Each latch has a broad, grooved face that gives your fingers or palm a solid purchase, including when you wear gloves.
• Lightweight LT Design — The LT is Radian's lighter take on the Raptor, with the same two-latch layout.
• Slim Machined Shaft — A straight, faceted shaft runs forward from the handle and is marked FOR AR15/M16.
• Mil-Spec Pattern Fit — It is sized for standard AR-15 and M16 upper receivers, the dimensions most rifles in this family are built to.
• 5.56 Length — This version is made for 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington rifles, not the larger AR-10 or .308 receivers.
• Black Finish — An all-black handle with a laser-marked Radian logo and patent numbers matches most AR builds.

Fit And Compatibility

The Raptor-LT replaces the factory charging handle in a standard 5.56 AR-15 or M16 upper. You remove it by separating the upper and lower receivers and sliding the old handle out, so no tools or gunsmithing are needed. Check that your upper uses standard AR-15 dimensions before ordering, because rifles chambered for AR-10 pattern cartridges need a longer handle.
