I tried doing some searches (google, youtube, calguns, ar15) and didn't find what I was looking for. I hope I am posting this in the right place! I am fairly new to using and building AR platforms. I saw these:

This reminded me the Skar rifle, but if I purchased this upper and BCH with SIDE charging handle... will it still work with .223 lower I have and will I still need a rear CH???:confused: Also, are there any pro/cons to a side charging handle vs the rear CH? ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED! |
| You will still need a charging handle to fill the hole. Someone makes something for that, but then its sidecharge only. Use a regular one, then you will have both, which is handy. The side handle sticks out, so I remove it to store in safe.Yes your lower will work. When you get that together let us know how you like it after using it awhile. |

Thanks! on my post on calguns there is a video, trying to find that one. I think it's LAR. I like the charging handle on the left side without the cut out for the standard rear charging handle.
You mentioned keeping the rear charging handle, is that incase the side handle unscrews and need to lock back? THANKS! |
| Use a small skinny screwdriver or long Allen wrench and cinch it down ( there is a hole through the handle), it won't move. Hand tighten it and it works its way loose. I like 1100's so its pretty similar. I see you have your mind made up, and everyone over on your link says the ones you posted here in your OP is crap, good luck. |
