I am left handed and I approve of this product.

Very nice. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Somebody should get the AXTS guys to sit down with the Adcor guys. Seriously.

Does the forged lower have a flared mag well at all?

ETA: It appears from the pics posted on Rainier's site that it does.

Because Adcor is working on a 7.62 version of their B.E.A.R., and it just seems like the B.E.A.R., with it's forward charging handle, would be ideal on top of a 7.62 A-DAC lower, with its mag-release-activated bolt catch.

i dunno about that. the ADCOR BEAR sticks the forward charging handle right where i like to mount a light (for thumb activation), and precludes mounting a rail panel right where i need it.

Although the 5.56 version of the lower has been thoroughly tested we are planning on a slight mod to the lower rear area of the trigger guard to help increase ergos and will be making this change and then having more shooters put trigger time on it to make sure it is perfect. This will take 4 weeks anyway and we also are looking into more cost effective ways to manufacture the custom steel parts that go into the lower. At present they have all been machined from solid tool steel. The two 7.62 lowers shown at SHOT show were the first prototypes we made and have not been put through their paces yet so production on them is definitely a bit further out on the calender.
