Description
The Geissele Super Charging Handle is a full-size ambidextrous charging handle for AR-15 pattern rifles, here in Geissele’s Desert Dirt Color (DDC) anodize. Both levers are dual contoured, radiused on two axes like an M14 charging handle, with checkered handling surfaces for a sure grip in gloves. A raised rear lip redirects gas blowback away from your face on suppressed and short-barreled guns.
It is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a Type 3 hardcoat anodize, and Geissele lists it at 1.5 oz. It fits AR-15, M4, M16, and HK416/MR556 uppers. Install is a straight swap, no tools. DDC is a tan-brown that matches Geissele’s DDC rails and mounts. The black version is 05-313B.

Who it’s for
Shooters building around a DDC Geissele rail or mount who want matching furniture, and anyone who wants big, grippy levers for fast weak-hand charging on a 3-Gun or Tactical Games rifle.
Who should skip it
DDC costs about ten dollars more than the black version for the same part. If color does not matter, buy the black one. If you run a low-mount optic or the rifle rides against gear, the Geissele Airborne Charging Handle in DDC has shortened levers that snag less.
