The Fixed Extended Charging Handle GEN 2 projects out 1/2″ more than the OEM CZ charging handle thus giving more to grab onto for charging the gun. Manufactured all in house by Manticore Arms the GEN 2 is an improved design that uses a polymer overmolded handle on a steel precision ground rod for excellent fitment in the gun and the ability to work with aluminum forends without any finish wear. All surfaces are contoured to remove sharp edges and the handle is large enough to allow for an “HK slap” to charge the weapon. A common solution with this upgrade is to use the Fixed Extended Charging Handle on the typical charging side and move the OEM charging handle to the offhand side, giving the option to charge the gun from either side when required. PLEASE NOTE: When removing the OEM or a Manticore charging handle from the scorpion, you will need to depress the detent spring through the lock pin hole to to prevent the spring from being bent, mangled, or damaged. Manticore Arms does not warranty springs damaged from improper removal of the handle.
