Question Side Charging Upper?

I'm looking for a side charging AR upper for a 3-gun build. The problem is, I'm only finding a couple people who make them. I know there has to be more than the two or three places I've found.

If you know of one, post a link!

The ones I've found so far...

American Spirit Arms

GunAccessories.com (Looks like a DPMS Hi-Rider)

AMEETEC Arms

My guess is he means the charging/operating handle. Imagine something like an AK47 where the operating handle is mounted on the side.

I think DPMS use to make one, if not them someone else did, but it was a left side charging handle set up more like a FAL charging handle. Now you got me thinking I need to find one of these to put on my new lower.
I did find this too: http://www.hpirifles.com/

After a long search, I settled on the Alexander Arms side charger. I just placed the order, so I'll let you all know how it works when it gets here.
