![]() The ACH has a number of features that made it a good choice for the URG-I program and indeed many other contemporary rifles it’s fully ambidextrous, low profile and also helps mitigate the effects of hot propellant gasses being blown in the shooters face whilst shooting a suppressed rifle. The ACH itself was developed from Geissele’s earlier “Super Charging Handle” (SCH) series but with a reduced size to prevent it snagging and catching whilst stowed against a parachutist’s body, this was a request made by a Special Forces unit for the ACH that was later picked up and used as part of the USG-I package for USASOC’s next generation M4 program. Manufactured by Geissele Automatics in the USA, the genuine URG-I charging handle is effectively the same as Geissele’s Airborne Charging Handle (ACH) with a couple of cosmetic differences. I’ll begin with a very brief synopsis on the real URG-I (Upper Receiver Group – Improved) charging handle to give a little context and also show why I chose it, but bear in mind that only a few of the features will actually be relevent for a GBBR. The humble charging handle is a pretty simple item, but one that can actually have quite an impact on the overall functionality of a Gas Blow Back replica. Every time I start off a review with the words “This won’t be a long review” I end up writing at least 3 thousand words, but I’m pretty confident this won’t be the case here. ![]()
