I started this on the AR and other Semi-autos and got a lot of good responses, but I wonder if the might be some other experiences on this site. Anyone out there have any experience with the ASA side charging upper? I'm putting together a target AR for high power competition with my upcoming Lilja barrel, and it's 1 of the contenders. The side charger in this case is for use with Medesha's adjustable butt stock or the one White Oak sells. That said, if I got the flip up cheek piece that's an option on the Medesha I could still us a charging handle. Then again the gadget guy in me leans to the ASA upper... If it works as advertised.
Cheers
Oh yeah, I'm not a machinist and I'm not going to buy a drill press.

Yes they work, good product. Also with there's the side charge handle won't be sticking out and go back and forth. JP Rifles also sell a side charge that looks very close to there's.

I have the LAR side charger on my Grendel, would not trade it for another.
I talked to the guys at LAR a few months ago, they were purchased and not able to sell direct any longer. I was told that you can have your local shop get them for you, or they have come up on Joe Bob Outfitters from time to time. (http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/LAR_Grizzly_223_OPSPS_4_Side_Charge_Upper_Receiver_p/lar-223-ops-4-stripped.htm) - they have the ambi model also listed

I put Q.A. link on the last post but he started a new trend looking for users of the ASA.

Thanks cbe1962. That would work, and the price seem pretty good.
