I am gonna build 2 night calling rigs, a 22 nosler and a 6x6.8 and would like to use side charge uppers. Who makes the best for the buck? My buddy has a stoner and it seems ok.
Go to rainer arms mega billet side charge upper then go to young mfg national match side carrier I don't get the bolt I usually get a jp bolt.built like a brick .s--- house. You get what you pay for!!

It seems my wife calculates these very closely though.....and yes she is still my wife
Not saying she don't threaten to not be on occasion
Thermal will sure challenge a marriage
Loose Lips.....Sink Ships
They don't need to know all and she would kill me if I gave anyone of you her cell #
Build them both and don't look back !!! It's only money
Now I know why Pulsar has 3 Zeroing Profiles / 15 Distances

+1 This. JoeBob's or New Frontier Armory's SC uppers are pretty much the same. Non-reciprocating is a bonus on both. I have the NFA one. In fact now that I think about it all my receiver sets are NFA...
How do these non reciprocating left side charge handle uppers work as far as being able to chamber the initial round or a tight round. In other words is there any forward assist mechanism. I assume you cant push of the charger handle to chamber a round?
Try Patriot Arms and Supply in Georgia...I believe they are Bear Creek Arms(BCA) side charge uppers. Sturdy built and operate nice. I have 2 of them and not had any issues. Check them out.

Correct about pushing on the charging handle and there is no forward assist or dust cover.

These look just like a stoner only billet and less money. I think I like that fact that they have a bolt handle that can be used to quietly chamber a round and it is in a familiar spot like most auto loader shotguns. Thanks!
