You will not be disappointed with the Quality Arms billet Side Charged upper.......got my first a few weeks ago and when I compare it to my LAR Ops-4 upper, the QA upper is of supperior quality and fit. The QA upper fits so tight to pretty much any of my billet lowers that I need a punch to pop-out the take down pins.....that is not the case with my LAR Ops-4 that doesn't fit nearly as tight to the same lowers.
If you use an ambi billet lower like a Mega or Seekins, you can use the ambi bolt release on the opposite side to release the bolt, instead of having to pull back on charging handle.

One small thing. They do require that a modified bolt catch be installed on your lower. They provide a bolt catch with the paddle removed. Releasing the bolt is accomplished by pulling back on the charging handle and letting it go. I don't think that is uncommon on that style of side charger, and it is pretty easy to get used to. Nice to know ahead of time.
