What companies make a side cocking upper for the AR?

I am going to build a pistol with my homebuilt billet lower and want to use a side cocking upper.

You can buy a side charging flattop upper receiver for $295 or $325 complete B/C assembly.

There is another company that makes them but I can not remember who it is.  I am sure someone will come along though and let you know.

Indeed Ameetec does

Anyone know what the Brits use for their AR style uppers?

IIRC they are either side-chargers or bolt style.

I bring it up as a possibility for the Cableman's pistol build

I like the looks of the side cockers but not ready to commit until I have shot one.
