Abstract
Disclosed is a side-mounted forward charging system for a firearm. The side-mounted forward charging system for a firearm is designed to be a simple and immediate upgrade to various firearms, for example, pistol-caliber AR platform rifles. The side-mounted forward charging system for a firearm includes the following components: a handguard, a barrel nut, a forward retention unit, a charging catch, a charging rod, and a charging handle. The side-mounted forward charging system for a firearm works without any additional proprietary components. The side-mounted forward charging system for a firearm allows a user to charge a firearm with a user's left or right hand while maintaining a horizontal position aimed at a target. The side-mounted forward charging system for a firearm gives a safety advantage to a user, allows for more accurate and quicker targeting while charging, and provides for overall efficiency while operating the firearm.
