TANDEMKROSS Spartan Skeletonized Charging Handle – Ruger 10/22 Red

The TANDEMKROSS Spartan Skeletonized Charging Handle TK18N0121RED1 is a lightweight, extended charging handle designed for Ruger 10/22 rifles, 10/22 Takedown models, and Ruger 22 Charger pistols. Its distinctive curved profile provides a larger, more accessible gripping surface than the factory charging handle, making manual bolt operation more comfortable and convenient.

Finished in Red, the Spartan combines functional ergonomics with a distinctive appearance that complements custom Ruger 10/22 builds.
