It is an aircraft grade aluminum receiver that uses a cool Stainless Steel AR style charging handle rather than the usual 10/22 side-of-bolt handle.

Key benefits explained by Tactical Innovations:
SMALLER SIZE EJECTION PORT
The absence of the factory charging handle allows the ejection port size to be decreased since now you only need the ejection port for ejecting spent brass rather than having the port elongated to accommodate the charging handle. The smaller ejection port means that less dirt should be able to get into the gun and you have a more streamlined side appearance
NO FACTORY RECIPROCATING CHARGING HANDLE
Having a rear charging handle means that you don't have the traditional factory charging handle flying back and forth each time you fire the rifle. Many shooters have added "Jumbo" and oversize charging handles to make the rifle easier to charge and clear but which also makes more mass reciprocating with each shot. The lack of a size charging handle also gives you a smooth side to the gun so you don't catch the charging handle on your gun case or your jacket when transporting or handling the rifle.
AMBIDEXTROUS FOR BOTH LEFT & RIGHT HANDED SHOOTERS
Left handed shooters rejoice! We can't make the brass come out the other side but the rear charging handle of the CH22 is truly ambidextrous offering the same convenient charging location for either right or left handed shooters.
