Gunsmithing .308 AR Side Charging Upper- Need Manufacturers

[5hans5]

I'm thinking about a side charging .308 AR build and am thinking about the upper. I've seen ASA's side charging upper, but they caveat a lot about how it doesn't fit anyone else's gear- so that's not appealing. I've got an LAR side charger, which I like, but they said that they may be engineering a .308 upper sometime (so no time soon). Ideally it would charge on the left (like LWRC) but I'm open to all options.

So if anyone can point me towards more options in side charging uppers (and their costs) I'd appreciate it.

Seekins has one in the works as well, but no idea of when it's going to be available.

Quentin Defense makes the "Gideon" billet lower and they also make a billet side charging upper receiver.

I have built AR's on Quentin Defense receivers and find them to be some of the best fitting components I have built to date.
The billet upper and lower are no exception and what my current precision AR is built on.

Young Manufacturing is in the last phase of testing their new .308 bolt carriers, but I am not sure if they will have a side charger available any time soon. Might be worth a call in to them and see what they say.??

Oh shit, i am having a build soon to be finished up on their upper, lower and rail and love the quality well made stuff they put out. Money is getting donated to that fund as i write this. I am getting first in line when it happens and hits the streets.
