    Good stuff guys. That A-DAC looks awesome! I was totally unaware of it, wish i would have found them at shotshow. Wonder what the price tag will be.... For the time being I think I’ll be ordering a battery assist and seeing how it works out for me. I'll def be waiting for that lower to be realeased though.

    Rainier Arms has the v1 of the AXTS ADAC lower on pre sale for $139. AXTS has v2 of their lower in the pipeline that adds right side bolt release just like the KAC e3. Theyll also a matching 7.62. Very cool. Now if I could get them to add an ADAC pin to my e3 I'd be really happy. I have a BAD lever on mine, but I'm not a fan of the bolt on idea.

    I have to agree with this.

    I have the tac link on my scoped guy. I tried it on my carbine's and hated it but I find that on the scoped gun I tend to set up for a shot and then figure out..... $hit.... I forgot to send it home. So it works great on that rifle.

    I've had guys giving me grief for well over a year now about adding a BAD to my issue rifle - but even our range coaches were in disbelief when I was able to clear a legit double feed in the middle of a box drill during our Table III shoot. I had to replicate this during the night fire as well - simply not possible without that BAD on there.

    Even the SR15 lower I have wears a BAD. Shooting right handed, no change. Shooting lefty, I can lock the bolt to the rear with the left hand, and send the bolt home with my right hand (mashing the BAD in or hitting the bolt release on that side)

    That’s interesting that you would put the BAD on an already (supposedly) ambi lower. I guess that just shows how useful the bolt hold open abilities and versatility of the BAD really are. I actually toyed with throwing one on the Spikes biohazard I was planning to buy just because the lower has so many other cool features. In sight of recent info I think I'll be waiting for the AXTS v2 to come out. On that note, can anyone see any downside to the bolt hold being combined with the mag release? Seems like it could be annoying in certain situations to have to drop the mag every time you wanted to hold the bolt back. On the other hand, you are removing added steps from clearing double feeds and therefore saving valuable time in a tactical situation.

    The reason KAC designed a (true) ambi lower is for lefties one would think....and speaking as I lefty, I have no need for a cumbersome and rather large lever hanging on the side of my receiver. It is a completely useless control just waiting to go tits up for myself. The SR15 lower leaves me wanting nothing more in terms of controls once I install a badass 45 throw as lefty.(Triggers aside)

    Maybe I should clarify the "supposedly" in my previous statement describing the sr15. I was saying it was supposedly ambidextrous based off of Robbs earlier statement, which I whole-heartedly agree with.

    The SR15, though a superb platform, fails to fulfill one of the afore mentioned criteria’s
