So charging handles are weird, huh? You have that awkward handle on top that you pull rearward. Sure you have the required strength, but it's kind of a pain in the ass, right? Can you charge your workhorse while leaving your main hand on the pistol grip, or do you have to alter your grip completely? What if there was a peg or handle sticking out the side of your AR that you could just grab, yank it back, and go to work? Read on.
This .223 Wylde-chambered AR build features an already pre-built side-charging upper assembly complete with a barrel made of 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel and a 15-inch free floating M-Lok handguard. Buy and finish an 80% lower with a jig, and then finish assembling the rest. Then all you gotta do is add either the backup sights or optic of your choice, and get some mags and ammo. Show your AR who's boss.
