I noticed yesterday that it allows you to check chamber with your left eye without breaking cheek weld. Never needed to, just realised you can see it from there.. I did wonder how much gas it would allow to fart into your face with a suppressed and/or blowback setup though, I'd go for the blind holes.
Trying not to want one too much.. I wonder if it could be made to be a cheaper add-on bit: Ie stick a template on the side of a standard upper, drill and tap two holes for attaching the side charge bit. Drill a series of holes for where it runs, file the slot flat, attack the left hand side of the bolt carrier, screw it on and go. Would only take an hour.
