Due to cost and lack of funds I am going to have to build my next AR to get it done the way I want it I have decided that I want a side charging upper but I am struggling to find a good price

Right now I have found two companies that are making the uppers

American Spirit Arms - $375 with bolt carrier minus bolt

LAR grizzly through DPMS - $400 with bolt carrier (don't know if it had the bolt)


Is there anyone else out there that is making the side charging uppers and selling them for a decent price?


Thanks

Total specs of the gun will be

Stripped lower - $100
WOA lower parts minus FCG and grip - $40
Gisielle (sp?) SSA trigger - $140
Magpul MAID - $40
Vltor Emod Stock kit - $180
Side charging upper - ~$400
AR performance 16" recon 6.8 lightweight barrel bolt combo - $275
low profile gas block - $20
gas tube ~ (no idea on price)
YHM QD flash suppressor - already have
JTAC TROY EXTREME handguard - $170


Anything that I am missing other than sling, bipod, grips, or sights?

Thanks

Looks like this guy will do the work on your carrier and upper...if you have it already laying around the house.

I found Young Manufacturing for the bolt carrier for $125 So the total price for the two would be $271 wich is much better than $400 that DPMS wants or $375 ASA wants (although ASA is non-reciprocating).


What do you guys think of Young Manufacturing?

Here is link but work computer won't let me put it as a hot link
