As described in the title and video I’m working on a side charging up or for the orca platform I printed a couple different uppers in the past And the blue PA6GF upper is the one that lasted the longest as far as the charging handle indentation goes. Quite literally the only failure I have ever had with the orca platform PLA plus one seemed to last around 300 to 450 rounds whereas the PA six ones seem to give up around 600 rounds you end up with a reciprocating charging handle To alleviate this I’m working on a side charging upper and hopefully some type of plug to go in place of the regular charging handle
Still have no idea what caliber I plan to go with but I’m debating on a couple as of right now (338 arc, 350 legend, 50 beo, hell maybe even 7.62)
The upper is still super rough draft and as of right now is really only for testing to make sure it actually works let me know what y’all think and I hope everyone’s having a phenomenal day
