For those who converted to this - are you pleased with the results?
Debating on converting my old Belgium 17. |

I've shot several 3 gun matches with my 17, never had a problem with the charging handle on the left side.
A non-issue with me. |

Don't convert a Belgian, simply for collectors sake.
Buy a new one if you want a non-recip.  |

I had an NRCH, and an RCH. The NRCH was nice but for me just adding a VFG up front as a grip point negated the issue of the RCH. I agree with others - keep the Belgian as is.

RCH non issue for me, i just run it on the right side. OG Belgian
Thinking about picking up a NRCH kit in the future or possibly another SCAR with how expensive it is to convert. |

I have SCARS in both NRCH and RCH. There are good and bad with both. A vertical grip fore grip fixes most problems with the RCH.

I never understood why this was a hill to die on for some folks. The RCH is a mechanically simpler design, and works great. The only time I've ever smacked my hand on it was when I was prone and lazy in how I was holding the gun.
Keep the Belgian with it's original RCH. |

Serious high speed low drag guys often shoot from crazy positions like laying on their side. In that example the charging handle can hang on something. |

In that example the charging handle can hang on something. I've done that before too, as well as firing when braced against barricades or cover. Again, was never a problem. Never heard of it being a problem for Garands or AKs either. To me, it always came across as a "it's different than an AR/M4, so it is therefore wrong" argument. |
