Thinking about using a Fulton Armory side cocking upper on my 308 build. I am using a DPMS lower for this 308 build up and would like some commments from some that have used or knowledge about them.

Thanks
 
Re: Opinions on side cocking upper.

Going with a side cocking receiver + bcg from fulton will run you about 200 more than using a slick side upper and reg bcg will.

Ask yourself how often you want to manipulate the action/use the forward assist. Probably never.

Put that 200 towards something that you'll actually use on the rifle aka better trigger/barrel etc...

PS - JSEsurplus has DPMS uppers + charging handles for 165 and TDSguns in Rocklin (about an hour and a half from you) has DPMS BCG's on sale for 150.
