Abstract
A telescopic charging handle incorporated into an upper receiver of an AR-15 type firearm includes a first stem portion integrally formed with a handle shaped head. A second stem portion terminates at a distal end in a projecting beak and is further telescopically engaged at a proximal end to the first stem portion. In this fashion, the charging handle is extended upon being rearwardly displaced in order to accommodate a modified length sub caliber action.
Claims11
A telescopic charging handle incorporated into an upper receiver of an AR-15 firearm, comprising:
- a first stem portion integrally formed with a handle shaped head;
- a second stem portion terminating at a distal end in a projecting beak and further being telescopically engaged at a proximal end to said first stem portion;
- and
- said second stem portion further having a reduced dimension portion which is sized to seat within a communicating distal and interiorly open end of said first stem portion, a distal end located and widthwise extending aperture in said second stem portion which aligns with slots in said first stem portion and, upon insertion of a widthwise pin, is telescopically mounted between the fully collapsed and extended positions;
- said charging handle extending upon being rearwardly displaced in order to accommodate a modified length sub caliber action.
A charging handle incorporated into an upper receiver of an AR-15 firearm, comprising:
- a stem integrally formed with a handle shaped head;
- and
- a reduced profile recess configured along said stem for preventing jamming of spent shell casings;
- said stem further including a first stem portion integrally formed with a handle shaped head and a second stem portion terminating at a distal end in a projecting beak and further being telescopically engaged at a proximal end to said first stem portion;
- said charging handle extending upon being rearwardly displaced in order to accommodate a modified length sub caliber action;
- said second stem portion further comprising a reduced dimension portion which is sized to seat within a communicating distal and interiorly open end of said first stem portion;
- and
- a distal end located and widthwise extending aperture in said second stem portion which aligns with slots in said first stem portion and, upon insertion of a widthwise pin, is telescopically mounted between the fully collapsed and extended positions.
A telescopic charging handle incorporated into an upper receiver of an AR-15 firearm, comprising:
- a first stem portion integrally formed with a handle shaped head;
- a pair of linear extending slots extending a given distance along said first stem portion;
- a second stem portion terminating at a distal end in a projecting beak, said second stem portion having a reduced dimension and extending portion which is sized to seat within a communicating distal and interiorly open end of said first stem portion for telescopically inter-engaging said first and second stem portions between collapsed and lengthwise extended positions;
- a distal located and widthwise extending aperture in said second stem portion which aligns with said slots in said first stem portion, a widthwise pin inserting through said aperture for establishing a lengthwise extensible range along said aligning slots;
- and
- said charging handle extending upon being rearwardly displaced in order to accommodate a modified length sub caliber action.
