818-DVC Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I just looked at it on jobobs outfitters, and you are correct. I wonder how much structural rigidity would be lost if you were to open up the other side to make a lefty's dream gun.

Steve RA Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 The ones Joe Bob sells are either right hand or ambi, they don't have a left hand only (at least, not yet). I've got an LAR side charge upper that is left only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 White Oak Armament does side charger conversions on your equipment. I have had 2 of them and I like them a lot. Matches that require the bolt locked back before advancing down range, the side charger is the ticket. Much faster to lock back than the charging handle.

stre-tch Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 My stripped upper from Gibbz arms came. Looks nice. Will have to post pics later. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrrcr Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am a goofy footed shooter, righty with a dominent left eye so I built my own using these: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/138383/dpms-upper-receiver-stripped-ar-15-low-profile-flat-top-matte http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=1656 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Morcillo Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I like that side charge handle set-up. Looks like the FN/FAL, which keeps your head down on the rifle, So much easier than the typical AR charging handle. I'll wait to see if the prices settle a bit.

Zebraman Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I just saw the Gibbs upper last week. I have always wanted to get a side charging AR upper, but have been put off by either a reciprocating handle, the inability to use a lightened carrier or the price. This looks like a good answer to me. Any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 long day so i'm probably not thinking it thru, but why would lefties not like the charging handle on the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightUp_OG Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 They will have to come off the grip and possibly lose their cheek weld. Righties can stay down on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
