Does anyone know if such a unicorn exists for 5.56/.223 ??
Yes, it has both the knob on the bolt and the rear charging handle. Belt and suspenders.Thanks! I guess I was just using the wrong search phrases. I didn't think to use stripped or dual charging.
So would it still need to have a standard charging handle in it?
I spoke with someone over at Fightlite and they said that there has been numerous requests regarding a non-reciprocating side charger and that they will be looking into the possibility of that. But as of yet they do not know how they would be able to make that possible since it's only a half sized BCG since the strut is the other half.
I guess for now I'll have to be happy with a stripped lefty upper or making a side charger mod and take the dangers/pain that comes with a reciprocating side charger. I'm still traumatized by an old youth injury where I didn't clear my fingers and the M1 charger cranked my finger.
