A firearm accessory that assists in relocating the position of a charging handle of a firearm, the firearm having a barrel, butt stock, top rail, charging handle with a latch and a bolt catch/release and biased spring mechanism on either bilateral side of the firearm, the firearm accessory comprising: a. a mounting clamp attached to the rear of the top rail of the firearm; b. a collar offset extending from the mounting clamp on the side of the firearm on which the bolt catch/release is located; c. a shaft that is slidably mounted on the collar so that the shaft can slide along the longitudinal axis of the fireman, the shaft having a forward end towards the barrel of the firearm and a rear end towards the buttstock of the firearm; d. a handle at the forward end of the shaft for slidably moving the firearm accessory and the shaft handle between forward and rearward positions; and e. a slot at the rear end of the shaft that receives and holds the charging handle of the firearm and whereby the slot receives and holds the charging handle without fixed attachment between the slot and charging handle; whereby, the slot is positioned in relation to the charging handle so that, in operation, a user of the firearm accessory, with a forward hand, pulls rearward on the handle of the shaft of the firearm accessory at the forward position of the shaft handle to depress and open the latch of the charging handle of the firearm and thereby push the charging handle of the firearm rearward; and whereby the user pushes the shaft handle of the firearm accessory forward from the rearward position of the shaft handle to cause the shaft to pull the charging handle of the firearm into a closed and latched position.
