If its one brand I dont see a lot of is ADM, granted the only thing ADM here is the lower but for the most part almost everything in the lower they use themselves(- trigger and buffer)
I really like the adm lowers when it comes to ambi controls I like what they did.
The right side bolt lever could be a tad larger but I see why they didnt and thats snag hazards.
Some day I will try out a full adm gun but for now I will be happy with just the lower.
Patriot Ordnance Factory? I have one of their older direct impingement rifles and it has ran excellent with several thousand rounds through her. This was before they put all the ambidextrous nonsense on it.
Not lesser known manufacturer but likely uncommon 5.56 model.
Lefty DPMS which uses a modified right-hand bcg. The bolt carrier has the gas vents on the same side as a left-handed carrier. It uses a left-hand bolt. BUT, the bolt rotates the same direction as a right-hand bolt due to the slot/cut in the carrier. I'm told a left-hand bolt in a conventional right-hand carrier will work however, instead of the extra gasses being exhausted out the ejection port, they would hit the right side of the inside of the upper spewing all that garbage to include down into the trigger assembly. It's different for sure.
Note the left-hand ejection port and solid right-side of upper with meaningless brass deflector. Shoots great.

So are we just showing complete rifles or are receivers eligible?
It's not a character flaw. It's the smart thing to do. If you ever go to sell a gun, the box helps it bring more money. The perception is that it's less used and well taken care of. This is especially true when selling on GunBroker.
Thanks for creating these recent picture threads Stick.
Current dilemma -- Both are currently in stock, so which lower do I need to order so I can add to this thread? Centurion Arms or Sionics? I wish CA still offered their F-15 lowers, that would make my choice so much easier.

TBH, I'm hoping to get people a little more interactive by showing off their ARs and letting people ask questions. We have a main pic thread, but these get a bit more specific and might help the conversations.
Regarding the receiver choice, both will work, but its hard for me to say no to Centurion Arms stuff!
