Description
This upper works with a regular ar15 / m16 bolt carrier, no conversion needed.
The charging handle stays forward while shooting, unlike other handles that are fixed to the bcg.
This is the best deal on a side-charging upper with a dust cover and forward assist.
Non-Reciprocating Side Charging Upper.
Compatable with standard ar15 / m16 bolt carrier group.
Billet 7075-T6 Aluminum

Cool idea but they would have to be $200 or less shipped for me to get on board.
If you have a charging handle, why would you still need the forward assist? Couldn't you just push the handle forward into battery? Maybe nix the forward assist to bring down the price.
i think it only acts like a regular charging handle where it can only pull the bcg back. even so, they could still take out the FA feature since its rarely used anyway and "slick side" uppers are becoming more popular
Others offering at much lower price.

$300 for an upper? Wow, that's a lot of margin.
This is a Matrix Arms Side charger. The second generation of this upper is the best side charger there is IMHO.
While it may not be the only one with a) dust over and b) forward assist it is the only one out there with those plus d) 7075 alloy e) no parts coming rearward toward the shooter f) no cutting of BCG or special cam pins needed. If you are AR ok, if you are on AR upper, proprietary lower with traditional buttstock like Ares than no metal rod coming at your hand makes this the best choice by far. Even if you are AR lower, #d and #f are compelling
Lastly the pic is of first gen. Matrix now makes front of upper different to insure increased compatibility with a larger variety of handguards esp those with anit rotation tabs
This is NOT the only side-charging upper on the market with a dust cover and forward assist.
It appears you are correct. http://www.jprifles.com/1.2.7_Receivers.php?menu_select=GSK...
We've edited our description accordingly. Thanks for the feedback.
Anyone know of a side charger with the handle on the left like this for like 150 I don't care for dust cover and forward assist
