Abstract
An apparatus for ambidextrous control of a charging handle is disclosed. In certain examples, the charging handle includes an elongated shaft defining a centerline, and a handle body. In certain examples, the handle body includes a first protrusion extending transversely from the centerline to a distal end, and a second protrusion extending transversely, in an opposite direction than the first protrusion, from the centerline to a distal end. The handle body also includes a first lever pivotally coupled to the first protrusion at a pivot point adjacent the distal end of the first protrusion, the first lever configured to independently actuate a latch mechanism, and a second lever pivotally coupled to the second protrusion at a pivot point that is adjacent the distal end of the second protrusion, the second lever configured to independently actuate the latch mechanism.
