new side charging upper!!!

Post by kamoto »

2 days ago New Frontier Armory, released a side charging upper that has no rear charge handle hole, and the charging handle is non reciprocating. upon talking to them it is larger copy of the mp5 style. and to boot it does not require a specialized bcg. and finally what sold me was only $249 compared to $400 average of others.


upon looking at the pictures a little more it appear the upper is totally enclosed save the ejection port. and i ordered mine on Tuesday. my only debate is to switch the 300 blk to this or use it on my scoped varmint gun where the charge handle is completely unreachable.


edit: i dug up the link they also offer 2 complete upper for $600

Looks very promising. Does it have a forward assist?

No. No port door either. Non reciprocating handle like a FAL, with detent to keep it in place. Unlike others, it uses a standard BC. It does use a modified cam pin that is included with the upper.

The ones shipping as of two weeks ago are also milled for the use of BAD levers

Bummer. Just an FYI, the Israeli FALs have a forward assist. I've modified mine to have the forward assist. I wonder if that company has an upgrade in the works.

i'll bite

why exactly does an upper for a 300 blackout need a forward assist?


the milling for a bad lever is a nice bonus though
