This video is a product spotlight featuring Mike Mihalski, founder of Sons of Liberty Gun Works, demonstrating their ambidextrous AR-15 charging handle. He highlights its design for fast, smooth operation from either hand, a low profile to prevent snagging, and a gas deflection lip for shooter protection, especially on non-SOLGW AR-15s or when using suppressors. Mihalski also notes that SOLGW manufactures these charging handles in-house for better supply chain control.
