AR Convert to side charging???

Does anyone know of anybody that is able to take a standard AR-15 upper and convert it over to side charging?

I've got a good friend of mine that's a machinist that said he can do it but he's down with health problems lately.

I'd like to find somebody that I can mail my upper receiver and bolt carrier to and have it converted and then shipped back to me.

You will still need a SC handle. At one time Fulton sold a SC stripped receiver, stripped bolt carrier with handle and just the handle. Looks like they only have the AR15 SC handle kit in stock now. I have used their stripped SC bolt carrier and handle kits before. You can contact them, not sure if they did the SC machining in house or farmed it out. EGW did some SC receiver milling for me years ago.

 
+1 on Keystone also. I'm betting compass lake would also do it.

FYI. I have several right side charging AR's with the forward assist - no problem.

You've probably already thought of this, but if you're shooting from a sling supported position, your support hand [i.e., left] is going to be busy with the sling.
 
I can do it, I use the keystone/woa pattern where the bolt carrier is drilled and tapped for a handle on the right side. I use a smooth side upper with no foward assist or dust cover.
Infact I may have one ready to go somewhere in my pile. Since scopes nobody really uses them in HP anymore.

White Oak Armament, John Holliger. Has done 2 AR's for me. He's at Camp Perry presently. So it might be 2 weeks before he returns to Illinois. Superb work.
Also Frank White , Compass Lake Engineering. Both are excellent with AR work.
