I think I'd be good with that. I haven't seen any NiB components that weren't shiny. Do you have anymore pictures?

Ridgerider - Any volume discounts if we do a Group Buy here that includes both AR15 Side Charge uppers and pre-order for the AR10 Side Charge uppers? If interested, please shoot me a PM if you want to chat offline about volume required and price.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think we need to do this as a coordinated group buy. I think Ridgerider said the price is $350, right? Or, was that only if done as a group buy of some specific minimum number?
Side charge uppers - Ridgerider - 01-18-2014
Hey guys to answer the question I am a member of the Forum so nobody needs to arrange a group buy. This is an open offer to all. you just need to contact us at sales@qualityarms.net order what you want and mention the forum pay with a CC and we will ship it the next day priority mail.

is it a bad idea to have a left hand charge if planning to use with a suppressor? i feel like i have read somewhere thats not a good idea but i cannot be sure why?
Side charge uppers - Ridgerider - 01-18-2014
Haven't had a problem
Side charge uppers - rrb9 - 01-18-2014
I ordered one on Friday from Quality Arms. I mentioned the price from this forum and gave my CC info and that was it. Jim responded quickly and said it will ship out Monday. Very easy process.

Looks like Ridgeriders deal is his best and final regardless of volume......seems like a good deal to me.
Side charge uppers - dammitman - 01-21-2014
talked with RR this morning and ordered my first one. i wanted a left hand charge with right hand eject. i wasnt sure that that was what the left hand charge was. i also found out from him that the ambi model comes with 2 bolts, one for if you want it to eject left and the other if you want to change it to eject right. thus explains the added cost for the bolts and machine work. now thats a deal for sure if you are a lefty but want to keep the value resale there for either or. i got a feeling i am gonna be getting more of these.

Mega makes good stuff and I have had my eye on that upper......but, then you need to track down a compatible carrier, which may be tough.

Hello I may be able to answer questions anyone has regarding Side Charging AR-15 Uppers, as for the Mega Billet Side Charging Upper Receiver I used one of those for my 1st Long Range Grendel Build, and it is Awesome, still.. Youngs Manufacturing makes an Awesome National Match side Charging BCG that you can buy, each one is hard-chrome or phosphate coated and each carrier is chrome-lined in the bolt throat. at Rainiers, here is the link> https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop%2Fmanufacturer&manufacturer=68 Young's Manufacturing supplies the BCG for Alexander Arms Side Charging Upper & Mega Machine supplies the Billet Upper for them as well. So, if you buy those 2 items, you will basically be assembling a Alexander Arms Billet Side Charging Upper, just like the one that I Built. The fit finish & function of the Mega Machine Billet side charging upper receiver, combined with the Young's Manufacturing Hard Chrome National Match side Charging BCG, won't leave you feeling disappointed in anyway at all! They are Great, and you can also buy a Carbon plug that slides into the upper where the charging handle use to go, to keep the Gasses from Blowing back into your face.. I'll have to dig up the name of the website where I've purchased them & post it if anyone decides they want to buy one? But it sure leaves the AR with a clean looking and completed finish with the Charging Handle Removed. I will try to post a few pictures on this post just for info purposes (Not to Highjack this thread in anyway at all) and can also move it if needed?
I have been searching for the very Best Side Charging Upper made since 2007. As a result I now own quite a few of them, and learned a Lot in the process such as, you Don't want to use a suppressor on an LAR OPS4 upper receiver, Especially the Ambidextrous upper because of Gas Blowback & it was Not designed for suppressor use! This information was Given to me from LAR's Gunsmith Luke (I Hope he kept his job)
Luke, the Gunsmith with LAR (LAR,Now Defunct since they were bought-out) by the Remington Group Corporation!~
I Have a LAR OPS4 Right side Charging upper that I have used on a Grendel Build & it worked Great. I have an LAR OPS4 Ambidextrous charging handle AR that is Built on the Operator Platform, sitting in my safe & only fired a few times. It's nice, but after owning 3 different LAR's plus all of the Other Side Charging AR's that I have, I No longer like or Care Any Reciprocating Side Charging AR's!
I have an American Spirit Side Charging AR-15 but it has a Non Reciprocating Side Charging Handle and that is what I discovered works Best with a Suppressor and is just all around much Nicer, and Ultimately Safer. They are a little to Expensive for what you get due to some machining that has to be made to the Carrier so the Charging Handle will work.
I have found another company that makes a Really Nice Billet Upper Receiver with a Non Reciprocating Side Charging Handle that acts as a Forward Assist too. The Charging Handle isn't located Directly on the Left side, but more angled toward the Top at a 45 Degree angle similar to the FN- FNAL.
I Bought One about 6 weeks ago, and it is By Far my Favorite Side Charging Billet Upper Receiver, as well as the Best one that I have found since I began my search well over 7+ years ago.
I plan on converting Most of the AR's that I want to keep to that upper..

Tooreal, Who makes the Non Reciprocating Side charge your referring to? Always want to at least see the product. I only know of American Spirit and JP Rifles to make a Non Reciprocating [I]Left Side Charge.
This also brings me to another question about the Young. What makes it "National Match"? Because that is where its used? I hear that term a sales ploy but would really like to know what makes it different to get the tag.
Thanks for the post.
