    Anyone try out the Culper Precision ambidextrous side charger?

    Ran across this and was wondering if anyone has seen one in the wild? Quality and function? Similar to the Lar Grizzly it appears..justin-side-charge-handle-sized.jpgbrandon-side-charge-side-1-sized.jpg

    Looks like it has plenty of opening for bark to work into.

      They look like the ones Crosshill Technology used to make. I'm not sure if they are still in business. I have a couple of the Crosshill's and like them a lot.

      You do have to be careful due to the charging handle reciprocating with the bolt and the upper portion of the bolt release is cut off. They are heavy, definitely not for a light weight build.

        Looks just like the LAR ambi to me.
        Seems to have a bolt carrier similar to the later LAR bolt carriers, as well.
        Also looks like the original LAR charging handle which has a nice feel, but is not as stout as it should be if it's still got aluminum above the threads. The BCA handle will fit and is made of stronger material.

        If it's the same as the LAR, the bare upper receiver weighs ~ 10 oz. Bare bolt carrier with key ~ 10 oz.

          Looks identical to the Bear Creek side charge I have on my long range 223 Wylde chambered varmint weight barrel set up. Works great, I like it a lot.
