I've become interested in adding in a side charging receiver on my custom Sabre Defense AR but I don't want to sacrifice me new AA kit in order to do so.

Does AA know of any side charging receivers that will work with their kit?

Thanks for any thoughts!

I have an ASA Upper with an advantage arms piston conversion


The little bushing that goes in the upper for the rod to go through, if you want to use the bushing you'll have to have a machine shop open the hole up a bit...... you'll also have to "polish" or "smooth up" the opening for the bolt to go in, for the AA bolt to fit.

Finally, you'd have to 'notch' the AA bolt to make it work with the side charge lever...... I've done all of this, and don't regret it.

+1 Got one. Ordered right from ASA, and they machined the Adams bolt-carrier for me.
