CMMG Dissent Side Charger - Right Handed, Black (85BA5E7-R)

The CMMG Dissent side charger is a right-handed charging handle designed for shooters who want a more ergonomic and ambidextrous approach to AR-platform rifles. Rather than relying on the traditional top-mounted charging handle, a side charger repositions the charging lever to the side of the receiver, giving you faster, more natural access and reducing the need to break your grip or shift your head during operation. Whether you're running optics, night vision, or a traditional iron sight setup, this configuration keeps the charging path clear and gives you better sight picture management.

CMMG manufactures the Dissent side charger specifically for shooters who value practical ergonomics and want to optimize their rifle's handling characteristics. The right-handed version is machined in black and built to take the abuse of regular range use and field work. It's a straightforward, reliable upgrade that makes a real difference in how your AR feels when you need to chamber a round or clear a malfunction.

If you're building a modern tactical rifle, setting up a precision shooting platform, or just tired of fumbling with a traditional charging handle under optics, the Dissent side charger is worth serious consideration. It's the kind of part that seems minor until you actually use it—then you realize you're wondering why you didn't switch sooner.
