    Yup, the KAC used to be the "bee's knees" with regards to this. They still are pretty awesome!

    That being said, there are a ton of companies out there now with different kinds of ambidextrous systems:

    - Simple bolt release button with no bolt catch: KAC, Lancer, Mega, Rainier Arms, Seekins, Spike's, San Tan, Colt, POF, GPI, Magpul/AR15.com.

    - Bolt release / bolt catch combo button: AP Ambi Lower (uses PDQ), ADM Improved Carbine, HK 416A5, Remington RGP, PDQ mod.

    - "Ping pong" bolt release / bolt catches on both sides of lower receiver: LWRC Individual Carbine, S&W M&P 10.

    - Bolt release button and mag release/bolt catch combo: AXTS AX556 / AX762.

    - Bolt release/catch at bottom of trigger guard near mag well (like on ACR or FAL): Bushmaster BAR-10 / RRA LAR-8.

    we recently had to mill a PDQ down and relieve it, the dust cover was interacting it just enough to not reliably be able to hold the bolt open. Anyone else run into this?

    I really like the AX556 for us righties mag drop & bolt catch on right side being one button is brilliant, but for the price this looks really good for a true full ambi option.

    You guys never cease to amaze me. Instead of calling the company when you encounter a problem and probably getting it fixed for free, you just go right on ahead and start grinding away... and then you come on here and complain.

    More likely than not, the cut-out on the lower receiver was out of specs.

    I don't see how he was complaining. He just simply expressed an issue he had and how he resolved it.

    Then it's a non-issue and he should not have even made the post.

    Question for the lefties using this lower with the ambi bolt catch/release.

    Couldn't you just hit the regular bolt release with your left index finger?

    Seems like a nice feature for righties....but can't see much value in it for a lefty.....am I missing something? Ie better for clearing malfunctions or ????

    I shoot left handed thus when reloading I keep a hold of my rifles grip with my left hand, slide the magazine home, tug and then I tap the release on the right side so the bolt slides home. Nothing really prevents me from hitting the release on the left side but this way I have an option to keep it all on the hand that is reloading the magazine rather than taking my index finger further away from the trigger in the rare circumstance I need to start firing again immediately.

    Tnx! I thought there might be more pro's I hadn't heard of. I'll get one to try since the price is very reasonable.
