    Best Features ever for the Right Handed Shooter.

    https://axtsweapons.com/

    I dont know if all would aggree that remedial action for a right handed shooter has always been a pain on the M4 platform, giving up the strong hand grip to be able to lock the bolt to the rear and clear the malfunction, then reaquiring your strong hand grip and getting the gun back into action.
    This was always a drill that was time consuming more for a right handed shooter than a lefty as we used our trigger finger to reach the bolt catch, I had a chance to play with the A-DAC lower and i think it is the lower to have right now. It will require a little getting used to but i think it is the best solution for a right handed shooter.
    what do you think?

    Talked to the designer/owner about them a year ago about these. Cool design for sure, but I don't know if they really ever got out to the public.

    Looey and I both tested these lowers. They are a game-changer for sure. You use the mag catch to lock the bolt to the rear just as many add on levers. What's really nice is nothing can come lose and it's all internal with the addition of a single part.

    Didn't someone on here make a plate that did basically the same thing, that would work with existing receivers?

    Yes I remember seeing that thread a while back, but I can't remember who was manufacturing it. IIRC they were testing prototypes and I don't know if the final product was ever released for sale.

    Not a bad little bit of kit, wasn't there a thread on this a month or so ago?

    While it will lock back the BCG, it won't drop it, will it? For that reason, I'd take the BAD over this. Lot more bolt drops on fresh mags than malf clearing.

    Correct the mag catch on the A-DAC lower does not drop the bolt.
    FWIW nobody makes a lower where the mag catch drops the bolt. Bolt catches drop the bolt.......

    Releasing the bolt was never a problem, the problem i think was being able to lock the bolt to the rear. I will agree with Robb, when he says that there are other levers that will allow you to lock the bolt to the rear as a right hander but it means using an external lever and as good as the bad lever might be i cant make my self put something in front of my trigger.

    Most of you guys have a lot more experience so I have a question. During the training that I've received, I can't remember a time when I locked the bolt back with a magazine still in the well. Is there ever a circumstance for this, or is it understood that if the bolt needs to be locked back, the mag should always be stripped too? If that's true, I see the value in the function of the ADAC piece.
