For some time now I have been wanting to build an AR with a side charger upper receiver. The only problem was finding the one I wanted.
First off I wanted one with a Non-Reciprocating charging handle, but didn't want the end of the charging handle to extend past the back of the receiver when charged.
I also wanted a dust cover , forward assist and brass deflector. Not asking for much am I?
Well after some homework and some searching I found four different companies that had what I was looking for. The price ranged from $249 to $299.

MAS Defence had the best price. I already had account there and have been very satisfied with everything I've ordered from them.
So it's on order and should be here next week.
I already have a bunch of ARs and it's not like I need another, but I don't have a side charger or one with an 18" barrel.
A week or so ago Primary Arms had a sale on the Vortex 3-9x 59 Crossfire II with the mount , 18" barrel in 223 Wylde 1/8 HBAR rifle gas system and the Troy Medieval flash hider.
I have a few handrails, but I'm thinking I'll go with the 17" rail.
I already had a JoeBob Outfitter's Spartan lower sitting around. If it matches up with the upper, I'll use it for the build.
I have a few LPKs and an AGL ACT fire control group in my extra parts. I also have 7 or so BCGs to pick from, thinking about going with one of the black nitride ones.
The only thing I need now is the butt stock. I have the A2 and the ACE rifle stocks, but think I'll end up getting the Magpul rifle stock. I've used it on a few builds and like it.
I think I will go with black for the color and coat the barrel.
