My left side bolt handle for the AR has quite a few advantages over the standard charging handle.
- You can keep the muzzle on target and your right hand on the grip while clearing a malfunction. Just sweep back with your left hand.
- Can be used as a foreward assist.
- If your left arm is injured, you can hook the bolt handle on your belt and clear a malfunction.
- If the bolt becomes stuck, you can use your boot on the bolt handle to free it.
- There are stoppages that are show stoppers using the standard charging handle. They can be easily cleared with the left side bolt handle.
I just returned from the National Tactical Assn. Conference in Denver. The general opinion from the participants was, "HOLY S**T!!! Why wasn't the AR made like that to begin with?"
And it's beyond cool and all the way to BAD ASS!
I'll be set up to demo and install these at Gunstock.
Thanks,
Lee
