Devil Dog Concepts, Llc Ar-308 Hc-10 Side Charging Handle W/Folding Handle

The Devil Dog Concepts AR-308 HC-10 side charging handle with folding handle converts your AR-10 or AR-308 rifle into a side-charging platform without requiring a rebuild or upper receiver modification. If you've grown frustrated with the standard charging handle getting in your way, blocking optic mounts, or creating unnecessary wear on your bolt carrier group, this drop-in replacement offers a cleaner, more ergonomic alternative. Simply swap out your existing charging handle—installation takes minutes and requires no gunsmithing.

The HC-10 is engineered for AR-308 platforms with adjustable geometry to accommodate different receiver thicknesses and picatinny rail heights. Because the handle operates from the side and does not reciprocate with the bolt, you gain several practical advantages: better sight-line access for optics and iron sights, reduced stress on the charging handle roll pin, and a non-reciprocating design that eliminates the forward-and-back motion that can wear components over time. The folding handle keeps things compact when not in use.

Built from 7075 aluminum (anodized black) and steel, the HC-10 weighs just 7 ounces and is field-strippable for easy maintenance. Note that this handle is designed for traditional AR-308 rifles and is not compatible with Sig 716, DPMS Gen II, or POF piston-driven systems. If you run a standard .308 AR platform and want to free up your upper receiver for better optics real estate or simply prefer the ergonomics of side charging, the Devil Dog Concepts HC-10 delivers a practical upgrade without major surgery.
