The NEW AR-15 Side Charging Handles NOW AVAILABLE

By Camaron Hillman; Pres./CEO Devil Dog Concepts

Previously, the Devil Dog Concepts Side Charging Handles were only designed to work on Forged, Mil-Spec Upper Receivers. We understood this limited a lot of people who wanted the benefits of the side charger, just could not have it because their rifle was a Billet Upper Receiver.

Well, that is now not a problem! With the two new version of the Tactical and Rear mounting Side Charging Handle options, you are able to use the Side Charging Handle on those Billet Rifles now!

How is this? By taking the stand-off portion the Side Charging Handle Receiver that rests against the rifle upper receiver creating that dual support design, and making it adjustable. By adding a rotatable tip that locks into place with by a bolt threading into a locking block, we created a solid, yet adjustable, standoff for the Side Charging Handle Receiver. So now when installing, you can adjust the tip to account for the varying widths of the different Billet Upper Receivers out there.

Introducing the new HCT2 and HCR2 – the Gen 2 Side Charging Handles that now are designed for BOTH, Forged Mil-Spec Uppers and Billet Uppers.

We are still working on a solid design for the front mount original Hard Charger. Hopefully one day!

Stay Safe and God Bless!
