Ok lets talk side charging handles.  what I'm in the middle of building is an SBR with a piston upper.  I came across this side charging handle and upper combo for gas systems and it ought my attention.  





Now what I am looking for is a bolt carrier that has the same type of configuration.  I've got a BAD lever on my current AR and I think having a side charging handle would help lock the bolt back when I'm shooting lefty and when no mag is inserted very much! for example, when shooing left handed and a double feed happens etc.  Anyway, are there any available for piston setups??

I also have access to the proper equipment that would allow me to tap threads into the side of an existing piston bolt, and make one myself using a lathe. but that's only being considered if there is no piston side charging handle system available.

Just use the Adams retrofit kit that has piece for the piston to push against that replaces the gas key. Than you can just use the carrier and bolt you have pictured.
