Zeroed .22lr Ambi Charging Handle

The CMMG ZEROED .22lr Ambi Charging Handle is purpose-built for shooters running .22 LR conversion kits or dedicated .22 LR uppers on AR-platform rifles. Designed with the same engineering rigor as CMMG's centerfire charging handles, this ambidextrous solution addresses a critical gap in the rimfire conversion market where factory handles often lack the durability and ergonomic refinement needed for serious training or competitive use. Whether you're running a dedicated .22 LR upper for low-cost precision work or converting an existing receiver with a .22 conversion bolt, this handle provides the reliability and symmetrical operation that both left- and right-handed shooters demand.

The ZEROED .22LR features a reinforced, filled-in channel designed specifically to handle the unique geometry and operational loads of rimfire systems. This construction prevents the binding and wear issues common in ambidextrous handles when chambered for .22 ammunition, where bolt velocity and carrier dynamics differ significantly from centerfire rounds. The charge handle geometry is optimized for fast, intuitive manipulation while maintaining the low-profile footprint critical for optic clearance on modern AR uppers. Machined from robust materials and finished to CMMG's exacting standards, the ambidextrous design allows seamless operation from either shoulder without fumbling or switching hand positions—a significant advantage in training scenarios or defensive transitions.

This charging handle is ideal for shooters investing in CMMG .22 LR conversion systems, dedicated rimfire uppers, or those seeking a reliable upgrade from inferior factory handles. Installation is straightforward on any CMMG .22 LR upper or compatible rimfire bolt carrier group—no specialized tools required. Competitors and trainers benefit from extended practice sessions at minimal ammunition cost, while recreational shooters appreciate the ergonomic consistency it brings to their AR platform. Law enforcement and military personnel using .22 conversions for marksmanship fundamentals or low-recoil duty training will find the ambidextrous charging handle indispensable for maintaining consistent technique across shooter populations.
