The battery assist device is a must have accessory for any AR15 owners. We recommend the PMM BAD Lever (Regular AR15 BAD lever will not fit due to the receiver tolerance)

One-Handed Operation - Lock the bolt and cuts down reload speed by allowing the trigger finger to operate the bolt from the fire control / ready position

Improved Manual Of Arms - Improves weapon manipulation and clearing malfunction without getting off the firing grip

Radian Charging Handle - Increased Durability & Ergonomics

Radian Weapons Raptor LT SIG MCX Ambidextrous Charging Handle R0364 Color: Black, Finish: Mil Spec Type III Hard Coat Anodized, $4.50 Off  w/ Free S&H

Much Easier Manual Of Arm & Clearing Malfunctions

Whether its a DI AR15 or piston driven, the charging handle is one of the best best upgrade to add to the MCX and MCX Virtus, and the benefits include:

Ambi -  Charge the BCG from the right side during shoulder transition

Increased Durability - Charge it hard without shearing the handle over time unlike the one out of the box 

Much Larger Latch - Easier to grip & palm blade on the serrated big latch

This is MCX specific model, not the same as regular AR15 charging handles
