The CMMG 22ARC Charging Handle Assembly (model 22BA596) was developed as an ideal enhancement for .22LR conversions. This charging handle prevents spent casings from jamming between the charging handle and the bolt—a problem commonly encountered when using standard AR-15 charging handles with rimfire conversion kits. Made from glass filled nylon material, the 22ARC combines durability with precision engineering for reliable operation.
The charging handle features durable polymer construction with a filled-in, reinforced channel to prevent instances where .22 casings can eject into the open channel of a standard charging handle. The groove on the bottom of the charging handle is much more shallow compared to a standard AR-15 handle, and reinforced along the center channel. This specialized design significantly reduces the likelihood of spent casings lodging in the mechanism, allowing shooters to maintain consistent performance throughout extended shooting sessions.
The CMMG 22ARC Charging Handle Assembly is designed for CMMG .22LR conversions as well as CMMG .22LR uppers and bolts. 22LR upper or a drop-in conversion kit, this charging handle delivers the reliability needed for accuracy training or plinking with minimal downtime. Choose the CMMG 22ARC for dependable performance when shooting rimfire cartridges through your AR-platform rifle.
