Non-Reciprocating side chargers--use milspec BCG's

Post by adayton » Sun Dec 18, 2016 10:25 am

New Frontier Armory has a side charging upper for AR-15 (.223/5.56) and AR-9 (9mm) in their product lineup ...
they ship a cam pin that has to be replaced in your BCG ... Retail prices are around the $225-$240 price range with a spare cam pin coming in at around $20 ...
Here are some bullet points on an ad I got in an email recently ...
• Machined from 6061 billet aluminum
• Matte black hard-coat anodized per Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2
• Compatible with all standard AR-15 components and most aftermarket parts - Machined pocket to accomodate Magpul BAD Lever
• The ONLY Non Reciprocating Side Charger on the market to accept ANY standard MILSPEC BCG - Just change out cam pin with the modified cam pin we provide
• Adjustable tension slide lock on charging handle
• Rear dust cover trap door that seals shut when mated with lower
• Manufactured to MILSPEC on state of the art CNC equipment for consistent quality parts and exacting tolerances
• Save money by building your own AR-15 rifle from the ground up exactly the way you want it configured
• Designed to match lines with New Frontier Armory C-4 Billet Lower and most forged AR-15 Lowers
• Ejection port cut to eject large calibers up to .458 SOCOM shells

I have one of these on my AR9, and it works a treat! I've gotten to where I loathe the standard charging T on my other ARs because this one works so well.

Just make sure to keep the bolt well lubed, and clean the carbon out of it frequently, otherwise it starts getting a bit sticky. A hazard of being able to cycle that much ammo through it in so little time.

Make good bang-bang!

Cool stuff. If your Rail/hand guard does not stop flush with the receiver (some overlap a littl) they may require a little dremmel work.
