The Sledgehammer is a robust ambidextrous charging handle that offers both style and functionality. It has oversized latches, providing an enhanced grip and ease of use, even under challenging conditions. This charging handle is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, making it both durable and lightweight. Whether you\u2019re a lefty or a righty, this handle gives you complete control over your AR. It\u2019s ideal for shooters who want maximum efficiency during drills or competitive matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Breek](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC00157-1024x576.jpg\")

One of the key features of the Sledgehammer is its gas-reducing design, which makes shooting more comfortable by minimizing gas blowback. The charging handle features a higher raised shelf at the rear of the upper receiver, effectively blocking gas from reaching the shooter\u2019s face. This is especially useful for suppressed setups where gas blowback can be a significant issue and a health hazard. The innovative keyway cutout prevents gas from flowing over the rear shelf, further enhancing the shooting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Breek](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC00154-1024x576.jpg\")
Additionally, the back pressure port and aggressive relief cuts on the top and bottom of the handle direct gases away from the face<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe internal baffling inside the stem creates turbulence to slow gas expansion, which helps to keep gas away from the shooter. Additionally, the back pressure port and aggressive relief cuts on the top and bottom of the handle direct gases away from the face, reducing irritation during rapid fire. These features make the Sledgehammer an excellent choice for shooters looking for enhanced comfort, control, and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Breek](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC00159-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Sledgehammer comes in several color options, including Black, FDE (Flat Dark Earth), and OD Green, allowing you to match it with your AR build. The MSRP for this charging handle is $79.99, making it an affordable upgrade compared to other premium ambidextrous charging handles on the market. Its oversized latches are designed to accommodate gloved hands, ensuring reliable operation in any situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis magazine is also designed with convenience in mind. It can be disassembled by hand without the need for any tools, making maintenance quick and straightforward. The internal components are equally impressive, with a long-lasting cataphoresis-coated spring that offers ideal corrosion protection. The hybrid AK-style spring design helps prevent tilt, while the unique internal geometry ensures smoother, more reliable feeding. The low-friction follower further contributes to increased reliability, even during rapid fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Fab](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC00299-1024x576.jpg\")

This lightweight magnesium, full-rail handguard offers excellent versatility for mounting accessories like lights, lasers, and grips while maintaining a lighter firearm overall. Its free-floating design ensures improved accuracy<\/a>. Made from high-quality magnesium, it\u2019s built to endure whatever you throw at it while being extremely lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Roam](\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DSC00304-1024x576.jpg\")
