Manticore Arms Charging Handle for Steyr AUG - Switchback | Mini

The Manticore Arms Charging Handle for Steyr AUG - Switchback | Mini is the ultimate charging handle for the Steyr AUG and MSAR series of rifles, designed based on feedback provided over the last several years. With its innovative design, this charging handle provides the user with unparalleled functionality and convenience.

When not in use, the Switchback Charging Handle automatically folds back for storage, giving it the lowest profile handle available. When needed, simply grab the handle and fold it out. Once unfolded, you'll find the largest gripping surface available on any charging handle for the AUG, allowing you to easily get two to three fingers on it. Pulling back on the handle, it folds up into the holdback notch on the receiver. You can either give it a good slap down or simply pull back and release, and the handle will automatically fold forward and stop at the front of the receiver.

One of the standout features of this charging handle is its versatility. The handle can be folded out to the charging position or folded into the storage position whether at the front or all the way back. This is particularly handy when the weapon action must be locked open, and the weapon needs to be laid on its side to display an empty chamber on a workbench or at the range.

The Switchback Charging Handle features a horizontal design and an extended gripping surface when deployed. This allows for clearance on low mounted or bulky optics such as the Eotech, making it compatible with any optics mounted on any top rail available.

Durability and protection are also key aspects of this charging handle. The body is made of durable aluminum, and it features a removable and replaceable hard polymer Wear Pad where it contacts the holdback notch on the receiver. This ensures that there will be no wear from the handle on your expensive receiver.

Installing the Switchback Charging Handle is easy, as it is a drop-in replacement for any Steyr AUG A2 or A3 charging handle. It is also compatible with the charging handle for all MSAR series of STG and E4 rifles. However, please note that it is not compatible with the Steyr AUG A1 and TPD AXR series of rifles. If you have one of these models, the charging assembly in the receiver will need to be replaced with a modified MSAR or Steyr AUG A2/A3 charging assembly.

The Switchback Charging Handle is proudly made in the USA and includes the handle, the polymer wear pad, an allen wrench, and instructions for installation. With its superior functionality, versatility, and durability, this charging handle is a must-have for any Steyr AUG or MSAR rifle owner.
