Re: Straight pull AR
White Oak Precision did one for me. Straight pull, side charging handle, and no gas port/system on the barrel.

Re: Straight pull AR
I use these, which i like better due to the non-reciprocating charging handle.

Cool, but the one in the pictures above has a non reciprocating charging handle, too. No gas system, so it doesn't move except when pulled.

Re: Straight pull AR
I haven't had a chance to shoot a system like this, I'm wondering is this just a way of combining the Ar parts and accessories with a bolt action style gun that stays locked in place until the shooter cycles it?

I understand they're popular in places where centerfire semiautos are verboten, like Britain.

These guys seem to make most of the ones in the UK. Might try to find someone who can copy them.

Re: Straight pull AR
Back to the OP's original question,while there are places in the US where there are restrictions on centerfire semiautos, the restriction pertain to evil feature like pistol grips, flash suppressors, magazine capacity and detachable magazines, not to semiauto function per se. So there isn't much interest in non-semiauto ARs here.
In a ban state, I suspect building one of these with a combination of features otherwise satisfying the definition of an an assault rifle could lead to a test case, which would be won, given proper representation, but would be a major trauma for the victim.
In free states, the attitude would be "what's the point?".
JonA, is that a repeater or semiauto? And whose handguard is that?

Re: Straight pull AR
I recognise it isn't going to be common in the US but thought I would ask. We can get them made in the UK but the lead time runs into months in some instances and there are only a couple of quality manuf. Plus i was curious to see if anyone in the US had tackled the issue differently or had something interesting worth seeing.

Re: Straight pull AR
Shouldnt be anything to have a good barrel made and not have the gas port drilled.

Re: Straight pull AR
Side chargers are popular among NRA Highpower competitors shooting Match Rifle classified "spaceguns" because they allow you to use an adjustable-height cheekpiece without interfering with charging. It is also easier(for some, anyways) to open/charge the bolt from the side when you are slung up and in position. It is a very useful upgrade for this type of shooting.

Re: Straight pull AR
LAR Grizzly makes several variations. http://www.largrizzly.com/web/guest/ops-4-uppers
Available as right or left bolt, forged or billet. One thing I like about them is there is no cut-out for a charging handle.
I picked one up for an integrally suppressed upper, with the suppressor going back nearly to the barrel nut.

As Oodin said, that is a Troy Extreme rail. The rifle is a semiauto the same as any other AR. Other than the upper receiver and the modified carrier it uses, it's just like any other AR.
Expensive as it may be, the ASA is really nice for an application like this. It doesn't interfere with the scope, you can work it while in the shooting position without taking your shooting hand off the grip or your eye out of the scope and you can still utilize a dust cover to keep the dirt out and if you're a reloader you can still use a brass catcher which is difficult with many side chargers.

When I was searching, that's where I saw the side chargers most...when guys were talking about their "match rifles". Another name that kept popping up during my search was Medesha Firearms. He does something similar to what I had done to my rifle.

Re: Straight pull AR
They should be available in 30mm in a little over a month. Sorry, only one height available.
