Anyone making these anymore?

Would prefer a side charger, if possible.

Thanks!

Rock River, POF, and Primary Weapons Systems for starters.

Though Primary Weapons has side charging piston uppers, I don't see where any of those companies have uppers chambered in 6.5 Grendel.

I wasn't thinking. I thought you meant in general.

I don't remember having ever seen a factory built rifle are upper with a piston setup.

But you can buy a piston gas setup and install it on any upper that you want too have that setup.

Thanks!

The piston system is the main thing, though a side charger would be good as opposed to the awkward AR15 style charger.

OK, that's one...has anyone ever tried one of these piston uppers by BRA? Any good? I see they have two piston systems, "CAPS" and "LPR" - both with regulated gas blocks, which is a plus.

Any other 6.5G piston gun manufacturers? I see that Alexander Arms used to make them, but stopped for some reason.
