I've seen one build for this on Pirate4x4 (which I can no longer locate), and I'm sure they exist on here somewhere. I just can't seem to find anyone's build threads around anywhere.
I want to make a LH charge, non reciprocating upper that still maintains the dust cover and FA. Seeing as nobody manufactures one in that configuration, I guess I'm building my own. Just looking for someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. |

Most home builds are reciprocating as it's a lot easier. Just cut a slot in the upper, drill a hole in the carrier, bolt in a charging handle and call it good.
With a non reciprocating you can use a FAL charging handle but you have to fabricate something for it to ride on. |

Not sure about the rest of your question, but there are several manufacturers who make a left hand, non-recip side charging upper. Most only require a slightly notched carrier, which either comes with the upper or you can notch your own carrier, it's just a larger flat in front of the gas key. ETA: That's the next build on my list. Actually, one right hand reciprocating and one left hand non-reciprocating. |

The NFA/Gibz only require the cam pin to be changed for non-reciprocating goodness to be a reality... |

If you talk to Lee at Accurate & Reliable Rifle (515.490.5484) he can probably help. I just sent him my DPMS upper & he's modifying it to a RH charge for $147 including shipping.
I'm looking for a RH charge AR pistol. Bear Creek Arsenal has a 10.5" barreled one in 300 Blackout but I don't know zip about that caliber. I'd like them to build me one in .223 but can't get a call back. It'll become a SBR with a suppressor as soon as the lawyer finishes my Trust & I get the OK from ATF. They sell a RH charge upper with BCG for $188 but by the time I added up all the parts I'd need it's cheaper to buy one from them. Anyone know of any other RH AR pistols? |

Anyone know of any other RH AR pistols? yes I do! http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Crosshill_Technologies_XSR_15_Side_Charge_Upper_R_p/cht-xsr-15-rh.htm Is it a lil on the expensive side for the parts it replaces? Ever so slightly? Worth it? Hell yea! NiB BCG - $105 shipped from AIM upper - $60 Raptor CH -$80 (I'm a lefty, so raptor would be the CH) Here's my set up... http://3gn.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=664571 o wait...complete? Just build it! You know u wanna

No chance I'm spending $900 for an upper receiver, even if it does have a high speed BCG.... This is exactly why I was looking to build. The hunt continues! And thanks to everyone for the responses. |

You should check out the Gibbz Arms Left Handed Upper. I know it doesn't have the FA and Dust cover but it seems like the best option.
I have a Right Handed one and I love it!! For $250 and you can use any bolt carrier group I think its a really good deal. http://shop.gibbzarms.com/G4-Left-Handed-Side-Charging-Upper-Receiver-G4URLH.htm 
If the handle isn't attached to the bolt carrier it needs its own slot to ride in. So it would seem to me that to take a standard forged upper and make it non non-reciprocating you would need material that isn't there. Just my two cents. |
