I had not heard of them so had to look it up.

They have an interesting method of putting the charging handle on the lefhand side, but they are not intending it to be for primary operation. I was thinking charging handle on the right just like the bolt of a traditional bolt action. But I was also thinking of a method where you don't pull back on the charging handle and then let go of it before it will close.

The people who modify ARs for high power match rifle competition have side charging handle modifications but they aren't optimum because there isn't much in the bolt carrier to attach the handle to.
