Has anyone physically played with one of these? Stress tests? Im looking a building a custom SBR upper in 6.8 and was wanting to use one of these. http://www.americanspiritarms.com/products/ASA_Flat_Top_Side_Charger_Upper_Receiver-38-12.html |

Quoted:  I Have One Of Those ASA Side Charging Handle. I Love It So Much Better Than cocking handle in the back. like a FAL Rifle. No Problems As Of Yet .Have About thousand Rounds Through It., It Has 16 Inch Fluted SS Barrel,Daniel defense Hangaurd,please post pics. I'd like to see how much wear around the charging handle area after 1000 rounds. |

I don't Have a Digital Camera Yet . Also Forgot It Is A Addax Piston Upper Also.No Major Buffer Tube Wear Then Normal DI Guns . The Only Wear Is The Normal Were The Handle Rides On The Receiver From Going Back And Forth. When You Cock The Rifle .Also The Handle Stays Put When Firing .

IMO much better than the standard upper. I have posted about them many times here and Calguns. Check them out at the industry page: http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=2&f=274 Quoted:

I'd like to see how much wear around the charging handle area after 1000 rounds. There is some missing finish on the bottom of the charging handle from meeting a bolt catch before I modifyed the bolt catch, that is all the wear on it. The new uppers I believe have an improved charging handle that doesn't contact the bolt catch. Quoted:
So when the bolt is in motion (cycling) does the charging handle move as well? No it is non-recipriating. The charging handle isn't attached to the carrier, a little nub catches a milled out piece in the carrier. Quoted:
needs a BAD lever. Couple of us who have played with them got our fingers smashed when pressing the bolt release. It just takes training to remember to push the CH forward BEFORE hitting the bolt release. BAD lever doesn't fit. I believe the standard bolt catch now works. I just shaved down my EBRv2. Those of you guys who played with them and smashed your fingers, do you pull the AR charging handle rearward and return it with the bolt catch? Do you release the bolt of a Garand before removing your thumb? That is an operator error. I have owned an ASA for quite sometime now and have never done that. Understand how it operates before playing with it. |
