    Odd, now they are... and it makes the review a million times better! I couldn't figure out why you would do a write up like that without any images. I think my internet provider hates me... :-D

    I honestly never even looked at the magwell before now and the front bevel is pretty weak. So far this is my only complaint.

    ETA: Nevermind, I found out what the deal is. The dust cover doesn't open all the way with the PDQ in place, but it shouldn't be a problem. MAC has a video covering this.
    Yes the PDQ does not allow the port cover to completely open, but in no way does it interfere with the ejection.

    I have one of their standard lowers & it's worse than yours. The bevel is pretty much nonexistent all the way around. Not sure why they can't make it any better.

    Thank you sir. I think I'm going to have to get one of these soon. Full ambi controls aren't really a need for me, but I'd like the extra functionality that PDQ lever offers. Maybe I'll just get a lever and hack one of my lowers.

    As another lefty, I was interested in your comment about locking the bolt to the rear. It has been my experience that if there was any control not requiring a left-handed modification, it was the bolt catch/release. For me, locking the bolt to the rear is as simple as using the left index finger to hit the bottom half of the ping pong paddle while pulling the charging handle back with the right hand. I can’t see the great advantage of a bolt manipulation device on the right side of the gun for a lefty. Please educate me. I like an ambi mag release and an ambi safety selector, but have never worried about an ambi bolt button.

    Sorry i was a little confusing there. The PDQ for righties can be used to lock and release by using their right index finger. However as a lefty there is no need to lock back when the existing bolt catch can be reached with the left index finger. But the PDQ does allow a lefty to release the bolt with the right hand thumb when inserting a magazine.

    That makes more sense. I have had times when I haven’t pressed the release firm enough after inserting a new mag and have to take another go at it. I think it would be an advantage to be able to use the right thumb like a right-hander would to drop the bolt. I like seeing the greater availability of ambi parts. I was thinking about a sun tan tactical lower, but this may come first.
