Side charging handguard

Didn’t see this already posted, seems interesting. Only need the handguard, non reciprocating, and HK slap vibes if that’s your thing.

Pretty neat design, the rear cover on the of the upper may prevent a good deal of blowback as well

Did you read it? It's for PCC/blowback ARs. Not rifle cartridges.

You don’t like PCC’s?

Nah it ain't that. Just wasn't sure if you had read that part

I’m not affiliated with this at all, but homeboy dropped another video. Said DI is in the works.

Kind of a neat idea. For my purposes I'd either want to convert all my AR platforms to this or none of them. Wouldn't want one oddball in the way I operate an AR.

RRA had a similar design at Shot 8 years ago, I don't think that it ever went into production. They utilized the lack of a rear charging handle and incorporated that space into an integral rear flip-up sight, along with a matching integral front sight. Also a definite advantage for suppressed, maybe better than a Gas Buster CH.

I vaguely remember that. I thought the rail height over bore was significantly higher than standard AR's, giving that rear sight a place to live.

They were taller, like PRI MK12 MOD 0 SPR height, but not as tall as the RRA EOP abomination. A number of years ago I prototyped an integral rear sight large frame upper. I went taller so I could locate the springs/followers/roller detent under the rail slots. Co-witness height mounts end up being the same HOB as a 1.93" mount.
