About Bilson Arms
The forward charging system employed by Bilson Arms represents a significant advancement in firearm operation and management compared to traditional rear-charging configurations. Unlike conventional AR-platform rifles that require the shooter to reach back to the rear charging handle, the BA-15FC's forward charging mechanism is positioned on the handguard, allowing operators to cycle the action while maintaining their shooting stance and sight alignment. This design eliminates the need to break cheek weld or adjust grip position when loading the first round or clearing malfunctions, ensuring consistent target acquisition and faster follow-up shots. The system functions as a non-reciprocating handle during normal semi-automatic operation, meaning it remains stationary while firing, but can be manually operated when needed for chambering rounds or addressing feeding issues. This configuration proves particularly advantageous in competitive shooting scenarios and tactical applications where speed and precision are paramount, as shooters can address malfunctions such as double-feeds without losing their sight picture or compromising their position. The forward charging system effectively transforms what is typically a disruptive manual operation into a seamless part of the shooting process, maintaining the shooter's focus on the target while ensuring reliable weapon function.

From the moment I saw this new innovation for the AR platform I knew I wanted one. Then I find out they are a Louisiana company my home state. The team at Bilson are all top notch. Great people great service, great craftsmanship. Quality work in each and every part. I had to get the 6 arc and the 300 blackout. Seeing as there work is all mil spec you can use there uppers with your lower if you wanted to but in my opinion get the whole rifle. Then start saving for one of their suppressors that will go nicely with your new most favorite rifle in the collection. Probably one of the best things in my opinion is I don’t have to worry about the charging handle getting in the way of my optic. Thanks Bilson for producing a great, innovative product.
