Description
Upgrade Available: The SN-ACH™ has been upgraded to the Gen 2! If the model you are looking for is out of stock, it is more than likely discontinued. Click Here to view available SN-ACH™ Gen 2 models.
The SN-ACH™ (Suppressor Normalized Ambidextrous Charging Handle) is a patented, modernized, feature filled charging handle that will satisfy any AR15 user. The SN-ACH™ features a gas check groove and a suppressor gas vent that reduces gas in the face of the shooter when using a suppressor. Configurable levers were also added so that a user could choose to run the included large lever, which works with gloved hands, or purchase and modularly use the smaller levers (available separately) without having to buy an entirely new handle at a excessive cost. The bolt carrier engaging hook features durable reinforced geometry for 30% increase in strength over milspec handles and approximately 3 times as strong as inferior 6061 handles which routinely break under hard use. Fitment bearing surfaces on the handle mating ensures reduced wobble fitment with the AR15 and AR10 upper receiver. The handle is made from 7075-T6 aluminum and hard coated for optimal wear resistance – the Griffin SN-ACH™ is the finest charging handle available for the AR series family of firearms.
FITMENT:
SN-ACH™ 15: Fits all typical AR-15/M-4/M16 family firearms
SN-ACH™ 10: Fits Armalite AR10, KAC SR25/M110, DPMS LR308 rifles and rifles with SR-25/AR10/LR-308 compatible charging handles.
SN-ACH™ 9: Fits conventional nose geometry of standard 9mm BCGS (ex. Colt/direct blowback AR9s). It can also be used with an AR15 as it is an AR15 handle without our nose reinforcement, which inhibits compatibility with 9mm Colt BCGs.

I finally got to shoot my noveske recon with the sn-ach charging handle . The rifle with 16″ barrel and saker 762 silencer definitely benefitted from the sn-ach . I didn’t get any gas at all in my face . The friend shooting next to be tapped me on the shoulder and said every time I shot a puff of gas came shooting out of the charging handle . I even noticed when I cleaned the gun it was really dirty by the port in the upper where the gas was venting out of the gun . So I’m happy with it and would recommend it . No gas in the face and lots of excess gas venting out of the rifle like its suppose to do

I dont have a suppressor, but this is the best charging handle I have used. Strong latch, smooth lever operation, easy to operate. A+ stuff. I will use this on future builds.
Austin –
Feels great to use, Very natural. The fitment is great. The spring claw that keeps the handle in place is a bit tight so it needs an extra push to close the changing handle when bolt is locked back. Other than that it’0Is awesome.

Works as advertised. We switched to these in our class 3 shop from the Geisseles and BCMs.

Big supporter of GA here so I may be biased. Good comm’s if you have questions and quick turn around on product (when available). This was a great addition to my .300 AAC build being ran as a dedicated suppressed rig. Oh, and yes… a Recce 7 is the can of choice.

I’ve been using this charging handle since they were introduced. Great product that won’t let you down.
Louis Andre (Redcon1 Tactical LLC) –
This is the best cCharging Handle in the Market. It looks good, is easy to dissemble, and has a port to discharge gas to the side. Without a doubt, the best form, fit, and function.

Purchased this replacement to deal with my gassy 8″ CMMG in 45acp. After installing, it did cut down on the gas but that meant my eyes started watering from vented gas halfway through the 25rd magazine as opposed within the first 5rds. I’ll be trying the liquid gasket mod shortly in the hopes it will fully address the issue.

Ordered one of these to go onto my 12.5” BCM upper. It’s quality and solid construction. Ran it today with my Recce 5 mounted and I can say there was a fair reduction if gas in my face. If you run a can and you want a ambi CH- this is a great option.
Bear State Tactical ) Dealer #EPS Ronald Hernandez –
Best Ambi charging handle on the market, plus it’s optimized for suppressed guns.
Everett Hames –
This is my second SN-ACH . I have found no better handle to use with suppressors. Quality is superb.
Mark Maund –
I bought 2 for the M16 and 300AAC worked great no gas face. Then I got this one for the AR-10B. Fired 80 rounds sighting in a scope so not rapid fire but I never at any point smelled anything but my own frustration at the target. Yeah, I finally got it right and could have some fun.
Shawn –
I jumped on this thinking “configurable handles” meant configurable port…perfect for more blowback to me…any thoughts toward the left-eyed? 5th star for a left facing port.
Brian –
Always great quality for all products I buy from Griffin Armament. The ambi charge handles are perfect. The features to reduce gas to the shooters face work. Couldn’t ask for more.
Charlie Winn –
I run the M4SD-II Griffin Suppressors on my rifles and this is my far one of the best Suppressor made charging handles that I’ve tried. Definitely a better product than the PRI Gas Buster CH. I’ve used various Griffin Armament parts on my ARs with no complaints.
Jumbo Dakotasmoke –
Use this on my 9mm PCC and it has reduced the amount of gas hitting my face tremendously. The size of the levers is also perfect. Will be buying another for my 300AAC AR.
Mr Salvatore Impastato –
Haven’t used this product yet but confident that Griffin SN-ACH will perform as it should. Purchased another brand before I read a review comparison on three manufacturers gas diverting charging handles. This one will be use on a second suppressed weapon not complete at this time, thus the 4 star rating. The concept is simple but works well and Griffin is priced right.

I have this for my AR-10/.308, and love it! I’ve had a few different brands of charging handles for my AR’s, and this one is great. Easy to grab and operate. Doesn’t bind, or twist. Highly recommended!
Nick –
I’ve tried a lot of charging handles. This one is by far the best. Everything about it redirects gas better than the rest. The high shelf locks closer to the upper than any others I’ve tried. Also, the wings are not just held in place by roll pins. There is some real engineering there. Which increases durability. I’ve changed all my Radian SD charging handles out for this model.
Moose –
Great quality just one of the great Griffin armament products I’ve purchased as always flawless.
Raymond M Basurto –
I am a past user of Griffin products and wanted to use this charging handle for a new build
Tim McGrath –
Purchased the SNACH for my dedicated suppressed .300BLK build. Since I’m still in the build process, I don’t have any opinions of gas mitigation, but the overall fit and finish is great and as expected from Griffin. Definitely looking forward to utilizing it with my Optimus 9.

Well made

Purchased to attempt gas mitigation in a 12.5” mid upper. Easily noticeable reduction in gas. Likes it so much, I ordered two more for a couple other shorties.
