Abstract

A firearm having a forward charging handle that allows a shooter to cycle the bolt without significant change in posture or stance. This allows the shooter to overcome ammunition related difficulties without needing to reach to a rear charging handle to cycle the firearm. The forward charging handle may be located near the shooter's support hand on the foregrip/handguard, which reduces the amount of time and positioning needed to cycle the bolt.
