ar10 side charging handle

An AR-10 side charging handle is an alternative to the standard charging handle located on the rear of the upper receiver of an AR-10 rifle. The side charging handle is typically located on the left side of the upper receiver and allows for easier access to the charging handle without having to break your shooting position.

There are various types of side charging handles available on the market, including bolt carrier group (BCG) mounted handles, upper receiver mounted handles, and custom machined handles that replace the standard charging handle.

The advantage of a side charging handle is that it allows for faster and easier manipulation of the charging handle, especially for left-handed shooters or those using optics or other accessories that obstruct access to the standard charging handle. However, it may require modifications to your AR-10's upper receiver or BCG, and may also increase the cost of the rifle.
