Sure.
It was made by LAR Grizzly some years ago. It is one of their OPS-4, others included the ambi side-charger and right side side-charger.
I found it in a large box of parts that I've gathered throughout the years and figured to finally do something with it.
Sadly, I believe they were bought out by Freedom Group, sometime in 2011 (IIRC).
LAR was more popular with the crowd that liked the .45 Win Mag in an oversized 1911 style frame.
The standard charging handle is replaced with a knurled plug that is flattened on the bottom end for a clean fit to the lower.
Right side is slicked, with a larger ejection port for the big bore cartridges.
Pros: I can turn the gas off (Syrac Ord block) and shoot single shot, cycling left handed without losing cheek-weld and it feels like a good ole' FAL.....sometimes.
Cons: Disassembly must be done with an allen key (I keep it in the BCM grip) to remove the side-charger knob, additionally the rear plug is removed and the probability of dirt/grime/twigs entering the chamber is increased.
Here are a few better views:
and if your slug misses 'em, you'll still get 'em with the fireball...
