I was looking at Mega's website and see they make a side charging upper. I was curious if any one has built one and how you go about it? Do you have to buy a Side Charging BCG (I am assuming that) who makes them?

--Thanks

Go to rainierarms.com and they have both the upper and side charger bolt carrier. I have used some and think they are better if you have any issues for clearing a jam and such but make sure its what you want before buying.
 
Re: Building a Side Charging Upper

I have not looked at the MEGA yet,but I do have an ASA non-reciprocating side charger,you can get it with or w/o the modified BC,which is just a simple slot.I also have the Fulton Armory which is attached to the BC directly,again,it is available with or w/o the BC if a DIY wants to do their own,or use one like a Young NM and modify it.I bought mine both with the mfr modded BC.
