Are they still available? I haven't seen anything new for about 2 years.

Having owned a Magpul lower which I believe to be nearly the same design as the ARFCOM component, I would not really consider it the ne plus ultra of contemporary ambi lowers; in fact KAC's E3 lower is functionally superior in my estimation, and the AXTS 556 is even a small step above that. The Magpul lower was an important step in the right direction, but we're really past that point.
Can't speak to the Geissele question specifically, but I've got a Wilson Combat TTU in mine, and have had no problems with assembly or function, so the pin issue may be just a bit overstated in my view. Either way, the AXTS is a very well-made part with unique features, and it is worth the price of admission for those seeking an ambi capability.

Received my AX556 back in November and it is my favorite lower thus far. Geissele SD-C with the AXTS pin and no issues. The Geissele pin can be used if you want.
Never thought of that. I suppose it would be no problem to use a standard pin -- you simply give up the anti-rotation properties designed into the factory part.
