Are you looking for .223 only or open to different calibers?

You actually have a few options, for side charging rifles, especially if you are willing to go bullpup.
In addition to the two you've already listed, you have: FN SCAR 16s Bushmaster ACR Robinson Arms XCR IWI Tavor Steyr AUG Desert Tech MDR |

Quoted:
Im in the market for something new. Not another DI AR15... Currently i am looking st the CZ Bren 805. I actually like the look of it a lot. But i was curious what other rifles out there that offer the side chsege piston system? It can be complete rifles or just the upper. I was also looking at the Arak21 upper. Any thoughts on this? build one. an adams arms piston conversion and a masdefense upper receiver will do what you want. |

heck if you are going for just 223 piston/side charger then you might want to look at the VZ 58 223's. It charges on the side and is a piston. I love mine but its a 762

Adcor defense piston ar15 has both: standard rear charging handle and a handguard located side charging handle which is ambidextrous as well.

Thanks all..... I may just build one... Or partial build.
The bren is my first choice but i keep my stock pretty compact and the Bren when fuly collapsed is about 1.5" longer than i would llike. |

Interesting you are considering this. Last night I was looking at a Matrix side charging Currently not in use and considering switching out parts with a spare AA home built upper I have. I'm sure I'd be the only kid on my block with a side charging piston set up. Only thing holding me back is spending another buck 70 on a Samson rail or equivalent. Definitely a cool idea.

So, I did some consulting for a start up company a few years ago. He finally sent me an upper, although I haven't gotten to try it out yet.
It's a piston upper with an FAL style charging handle. Very well designed, very well machined. I'm pretty hopeful that it will run well too. I tried his prototypes years ago and they ran like a raped ape. Surprisingly light weight and balances very well. Company is Holland Automatic Rifles. He builds them to order with a couple of barrel and hand-guard options.

You want different? My two cents: Go buy an HK SL8 and begin converting it into a G36 clone. All the dope and resources (>cough<Tommybuilt) are over at HKPro.com. I absolutely love mine-- it is the Cadillac of the piston guns. Wasn't cheap, though.
