Side Charger

[robertc1024]

This is kinda cool - turn your normal AR into a side charger:

Looks like a well made unit with good thought to different mounting applications.

But why?

 

[Moonpie]

I like it.

$140 with free shipping but don't know if they charge tax.

Not too bad.

 

[Dawico]

But why?

Because some people want a side charging handle.......

Let them buy a FAL, FNC or H&K!

Because some people want a side charging handle.......ON THEIR AR

Just showed this to the wife and explained to her how cool it is. Let's see if she takes the hint and lets Santa know what I want for Christmas.

I think it's pretty darn cool. I saw it in an e-mail from Ranier Arms.

Why would I do that when I could have the same familiar controls of the AR platform with a side charger? Especially in 300 BLK.

And a FAL isn't even close to an AR...

It's a pretty good set up if one wants a side charger (which I think is a neat idea). But I think $140 for the three small pieces is about at least twice what they should charge. Just my two bits.

When you design, manufacturer, and sell them cheaper let us know.

You'll be the first to know!

What I like about this offering is that it becomes fairly cheap to tryout the side charging function without needing a specific receiver and bolt, which is fairly expensive.

Quality machining and finishing ain't cheap. Especially at small scale.

Why has Rob not posted pics of his new AR side charging device?

 

[Charlie]

I think if I was going to spend that much money I'd check into what it would cost to get a slot cut in the top side of the of the receiver and have a threaded hole in the slid for a pull knob.

I want a top charger like the 1928 Thompson or Uzi but with a picatinney rail on top too. Let's see them pull that off.

Meh. The charging handle on an ar is pretty much already in the perfect location already. You are better off buying a raptor or ACH and saving close to $100
