Geissele Airborne ACH Charging Handle, 5.56 DDC

The Airborne Charging Handle (ACH) was developed to provide a lower‑profile lever while maintaining robust, ambidextrous operation. It is 3D machined from a solid block of aircraft‑grade 7075‑T6 aluminum and finished with Type 3 hard coat anodize in Desert Dirt Color (DDC). Shortened, dual‑contoured levers feature checkered handling surfaces for confident manipulation with gloves. A taller rear fence is incorporated to help redirect gas blow back when used with short‑barreled and suppressed setups.
