  1. [email protected] (verified owner) –

    Just put this on my build and it is a very nice quality piece. Plus it gives you that “cool” factor that many people are looking for these days with their AR’s.

  2. [email protected] (verified owner) –

    I have built three of these and they are sweet. No more rear charging handles for me. You can use any optic without interference. I will use these for all my future builds for myself and will be suggesting them to my customers. Plus the service you get from these folks is outstanding.

    Bought for a 6.8spc ii build and very satified with turnout. The lines are gapless and the finish is flawless. Overall function of the piece is problem free and smooth. For a more custom fire arm with slick looks and great performance this piece can be cerekoted. It looks pretty good with a utg slim keymod rail. Light weight and no need to take your eyes off the target if you need to chamber a round.
    Great piece.

    I recently finished a wildcat build in .20GPC using this upper and a NFA lower. It has functioned flawlessly through all the function testing, load development and a couple of months of hunting with it. The NFA side-charging upper is the way to go if you are a hunter who uses an AR15. Hold the rifle with your right-hand, charge with the left and you’re ready to go. My next coyote build will be on a NFA upper as well.

    Asked by Emett Cervantes on May 14, 2019 11:11 am

    The Superlative Arms Low Profile Piston Kits are a drop in upgrade for Milspec parts, so it should work no problem.

    Asked by Sean on May 13, 2019 6:38 pm

    It should, but we haven't tried it.  We use our PC-NRSC uppers on our pistol caliber lowers (except for the C5 models).

    Q When will the C-4 Side charge upper be back in stock? answer now
    Asked by Cache on April 7, 2019 3:43 pm
    A

    They're regularly stocked; however, tend to sell out quickly.  If they sell out before you can place an order, you'll need to rejoin the waitlist for a future notification.

    It should work; however, we don't know the dimension on the notch.  At this time we do not have one available to test fit.

    Q Would this work with a 2A 22LR bolt and barrel unit? answer now
    Asked by David on February 5, 2019 11:07 pm
    A It looks to me like the rear dust cover trap door, as currently implemented, will interfere with the tab at the top of the back plate of an Atchisson pattern .22LR system as is sold by CMMG and J.A. Ciener. That would mean the rear dust cover trap door will have to be taken out (leaving an open hole in back) or somehow modified or redesigned. Other types of .22LR systems (e.g., TacSol, 2A Armament) may or may not have such an issue. MHO, YMMV, etc. Perhaps New Frontier Armory can clarify. ---The CMMG .22LR bcg adapter can be modified to accommodate the upper. I've seen a couple of customers that have made it work, but as far as anything that won't void any warranties, the trapdoor can be removed using a roll pin punch.

    Q May be a stupid question but with this side charging upper do you still need a dust cover? answer now

    No dust cover or forward assist, no.

    Q Will this work for 9mm without getting the custom ejection plate to make the ejection port smaller? answer now
    Asked by Kodi on January 20, 2019 8:43 pm
    Answered by the admin

    There's no ejection port door on these uppers.

    For 9mm, you should look at our PC-NRSC or C5-NRSC instead.

    Asked by Michael Leavitt on November 29, 2018 6:08 pm
    Answered by the admin

    I'm sorry, but we haven't had one of these to test out yet.   It should work though because we also utilize a special cam pin with a larger slot in the upper.  If it doesn't it should be easily modified to work.
