Radian Weapons Raptor Charging Handle for M16, NP3 Coating

Product Description

The Radian Weapons Raptor is a charging handle for the M16 with an NP3 coating. It is a drop-in replacement part for the handle that sits at the rear of the upper receiver. You use it to cycle the action, clear a malfunction, and check the chamber.

The body is aluminum, and the Raptor adds a polymer overmold. The finish is NP3. Those are the traits that set this version apart from a plain stock handle, and they are what you are paying attention to when you compare options for your build.

Who it suits

This handle is for anyone running an M16-pattern rifle who wants a different charging handle than the one on the gun. That includes builders putting together a new upper and owners who are upgrading parts one at a time. If you already have a favorite finish on your other controls, the NP3 coating gives you a clear option to match or contrast with them.

A charging handle works alongside the rest of the upper, so it pairs naturally with a bolt carrier group, an upper receiver, and a handguard you already like. Check your platform before you order. This one is listed for the M16, and the manufacturer part number is R0005 if you need to match it to a parts list or build sheet.
