RADIAN Raptor-LT Charging Handle – AR-15/M16 5.56/.223

The RADIAN Raptor-LT is an ambidextrous charging handle designed for AR-15 and M16 pattern rifles chambered in 5.56/.223. It replaces mil-spec charging handles with dual-sided operation, allowing shooters to charge or clear the rifle from either side without breaking their grip or adjusting hand position. The design reduces snag points and provides positive engagement under stress or when wearing gloves.

Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum with a Type III hard-coat anodized finish in black, the Raptor-LT offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives. Installation is straightforward and requires no gunsmithing—simply remove the factory charging handle and bolt carrier group, insert the Raptor-LT, and reassemble. The LT (Light) version maintains the core functionality of the standard Raptor series while streamlining the profile for shooters who prioritize a lower-profile design.
