US12492874 - Charging handle for a firearm

The charging handle for a firearm includes a latch assembly and two levers, each operably and independently connected to the latch assembly. Additionally, each lever includes a biasing arm, the end portion of which is positioned in an overlapping arrangement with the end portion of the other biasing arm. In this way, the overlapping, or “nested,” end portions of the biasing arms contact substantially the same portion of the cam surface on the latch. This allows each lever to provide an even resistance to the user when pulled.
