TANDEMKROSS Spartan Skeletonized Charging Handle – Ruger 10/22 Silver
The TANDEMKROSS Spartan Skeletonized Charging Handle TK18N0121SLV1 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 bolt operation easier and more comfortable.

Build on the Details That Make a Difference
A charging handle is one of the simplest ways to improve the everyday handling of a Ruger 10/22. Once the controls feel right, many shooters begin looking at other components that influence the shooting experience, particularly the trigger and barrel.
The Ruger 10/22 has an extensive precision aftermarket, with manufacturers such as KIDD and Volquartsen offering upgrades for everything from recreational plinking to competitive rimfire shooting.
For shooters looking to take that next step, Volquartsen's precision trigger assemblies and match barrels offer an excellent foundation for a more refined 10/22 build. These components complement the Spartan's improved ergonomics while addressing other aspects of rifle performance.
