Yes. It's very good. I wrote a detailed review of it here: https://1022companion.wordpress.com/2017/11/27/an-advantage-for-left-handed-shooters/ (https://1022companion.wordpress.com/2017/11/27/an-advantage-for-left-handed-shooters/)

I put it on my daughter's rifle (DeadAnt here).  FiremanBob did a write up of it for his blog which you can find at : https://1022companion.wordpress.com/2017/11/27/an-advantage-for-left-handed-shooters/ (https://1022companion.wordpress.com/2017/11/27/an-advantage-for-left-handed-shooters/)

Short version: It works very well indeed.

From a Tactical perspective  that is very cool, But  for our students, I want their finger off the trigger when they are racking the bolt or clearing a jam.  Also It is very hard to work that once you are slung up.  :F

I believe they're talking about using it on a left-handed shooter's rifle.

Cable Guy, What Nashiville Stage said.  My daughter is left handed and had to come completely out of position to work the bolt on her rifle until we installed the TK adaptor.  Now she can stay in position and work the bolt. Arguably safer since the rifle doesn't move as much and decidedly faster since she doesn't have to re-acquire NPOA.

I never knew such a critter existed.
I don't know a lefty in need of one, but what a great idea.
Glad to see it works well.
