For those claiming safety concerns. The Styer HS-50 M1 version used a side mag system. You can find all the blow out and teeth knocking concerns in those old threads. No actual problems from users. Steyr makes high end firearms. The Hera stuff I’ve used, including a full ambi AR lower (first two in Canada), were top notch and high quality.
Not sure it’s for me, but it does have advantages and the side mag system has already been tried/true with a 50 bmg bolt action.
