Abstract:

An upper receiver assembly for an AR style rifle is provided. The upper receiver assembly includes an upper receiver body with a channel formed in a side of the body. Further, the assembly includes a bolt carrier operatively coupled within the upper receiver body. A bolt is coupled within the bolt carrier, wherein a cam pin is coupled to the bolt and extends through an aperture of the bolt carrier. The assembly also includes a side charger having a charging handle that extends through the channel of the upper receiver body. The side charger also includes a bolt carrier engagement member.
