    Side charging uppers that have rail/forearm tab clearance...

    Thinking of doing a side charging upper (NFA, Gibbz, etc.) but find most are billet and bulkier near the front end which does not allow the anti-rotation tabs on many rails and handguards to fit without trimming them off..

    Has anyone found a 'thinner' side charging upper or is this just going to be the nature of the beast? I really don' t want to trim my new ALG handguard!

    Pretty sure all the non-reciprocating side chargers are bought from the same manufacturer and then customized by the manufacturers you would be buying from. Just like the forged lowers all coming from the same few forges....

      Our Billet Side charge will work with ALG HG's.

            Rails will anti-rotation will work with most the side chargers. Though you might have to file down the anti-rotation tangs some.
            I had a ALG v3 rail on my ASA side charger and all I had to do was file down the tangs some and it slide on. It was a tight fit.
            I used a black gun marker to cover the bare metal.
            I ended up moving my barrel and rail to my Matrix arms side charger. On that one I had to completely file off one tang.
            Lot of rails don't really need the anti-rotation tangs.
