The Armory at LTT –
Fantastic lower. We ordered 2 of them for the shelf and sold both within 10 minutes. Had to order another 6. They are built well and they look great. Definitely worth it.
Brandon P –
This is my new favorite lower. I’m a lefty, so having a built in ambidextrous magazine release is awesome. I have built on a CMT Tactical ambidextrous lower, and thought it’s a good lower, this MK-2 is better. The ambidextrous bolt release is better, the flared magwell is nice, and it comes with the bolt catch installed.
Justin Stevenson –
This is not just perfectly priced, but also pairs with a well-built and proven system that will be in high demand for years to come. Griffin has made a name for themselves recently and this lower is a welcome addition to their incredible lineup. I will be buying a couple more in the very near future.
Ed S. –
The lower is incredibly well made, ambi controls are a very nice touch, my only critique is I wish it came with both sides mag ejectors included
Lee –
This is perfect, exactly what I was looking for, for a build. The price point is not outrageous and the overall build quality and finish is excellent. Plan on purchasing more of these.
Chase Garmon –
Pretty impressed overall. It’s basically an ADM lower (to the point that I like was either licensed from ADM or possibly made by ADM). Flared mag well is great and the ambi controls are well placed without feeling in the way. I really like the sleek lines and overall, the fit and finish is great. Very clean with no overly obvious machine marks and the finish reminds me of a military phosphate more so than the more glossy finishes we see more often now. All my LPK parts went in without issue and no spec issues. Great lower and worth the buy.
Kyle –
There are a lot of options for Ambi Lowers out there. This one checks all the boxes and the cheapest true ambi lower on the market.
Bryan –
I took the leap of faith in buying a relatively new product with not many reviews out there. I am not disappointed one bit! I called Griffin and was pleased to find out that a real human answered the call and answered my questions. Buy with confidence.
B sargent –
Well built and ingenious design. I’m getting more and getting rid of all the magpul bad levers. The bad levers can get in the way of the trigger.
Jonathan –
Built my first rifle around Griffin parts and several since, won’t use anything else. Have ADM lowers and this magwell is FAR better. This is a steal at this price. Excellent job guys.
Tim K –
Excellent lower. No complaints. Running it with a Centurion 16in barrel.
Chris –
I own LMT and ADM, with that being said, this lower is quality. From the machining to the finish there was not a flaw. I would put it up against either of the other two any day. The only, however small, complaint is the spring tension on the ambi mag release. It’s tight. I’m sure after several hundred rounds and mag changes, it will break-in just fine. 10 out 10 I would recommend. Only wished I had bought more during Black Friday sale.
Raymond –
Very well made. Best bang for the money for a true ambidextrous lower receiver.
Moose –
If you are looking for ambi lower then this is it. I have used ADM, PWS and LWRC lowers but for the money Griffins ambi lowers is as good as the others.
Geoff DeNatale –
Excellent quality and fit and finish. Highly recommended.
Frederick LaLanne –
This lower is everything you need in a lower at a great price! I will only be using theses for my builds for now.
James Boone –
Very thought through and designed lower. Have been very happy with it and will purchase more in the future.
William Buehler –
I was hesitant to buy this and now I a glad I did. I wish all my lowers were at this quality. Highly recommend buying this lower.
Robert Mccollum –
Please don’t order ! unless you would like to have the most badass lower ever.I’m getting so spoiled on Griffin armaments quality,
Anonymous –
Good fit and finish would highly recommend
Ken –
Awesome ambi lower receiver wish all my ar 15 has ambi controls
Cam Shumate –
Best ambi design on the market, solid quality of construction and overall finish. This should be the gold standard for a lower receiver outside of mil spec lowers.
Nicholas –
Awesome lower! No tooling marks anywhere on the lower everything looks perfect. Best thought out design for an ambi lower. Highly recommend!!
Everette –
This is the second ambi lower I’ve received from Griffin Armory. The price is a no brainer and the features are top notch.
Griffin Waldrop –
Love the lower. Keep it up!
Jax –
Everything is in spec, one small burr in the pivot pin spring hole, but otherwise excellent shape. Anodizing matches well with my BCM and HK uppers. The lift type bolt release works much better for me, the travel required is more than the HK but it does seem smoother and easier to engage and disengage. I have about 600 rounds through it with most of it suppressed. Plenty of carbon and junk in the bolt release system and no issues with operation or ease of use yet. It has an M16 internal cutout, and is marked auto, so if you are lucky enough to have a DIAS you should be in business. The ambi mag release is pretty low profile. It has to be pushed pretty much completely flush with the lower to release it. It could be a clearance issue with my mag release, but both I tried were the same. With that said, I wasn’t able to hit it on a magazine or anything on my carrier and release it like others I have had would, so it may very well be by design. It does have a decent fence around the left hand mag release so it is well protected. The magwell is flared quite a bit and easy to find under pressure. Wish the trigger guard was milspec but I get that pretty much everyone has gone to integrated guards now. This is forged so that was a big plus compared to many others that are billet. Overall, I don’t know of any ambi lower I would take over this that is remotely close to this price point.
Ryan Valencia –
Amazing deal for a very nice lower. I am very impressed with the quality.
Jamar bynum –
This lower is great especially for the money. The quality is impeccable. The finish is immaculate. Function is very intuitive. Best lower on the market at the price point hands down. I’ll buy these forever.
HP22 –
I just had the opportunity to go shoot this (with a MK1 upper), and it performed great! The ambidextrous features are always appreciated, the appearance and functionality are both flawless, and it’s a Griffin lower so the reliability is always there. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about this lower.
Clifton McKnight –
Well made, full ambi is nice
Travis G –
I bought this lower as my very first build base. Being a lefty in a right hand dominant world sucks quite a bit…..but when you have amazing products, like this MKII lower receiver, it makes it that much sweeter.
Definitely a purchase that you want to make when you can.
Ordered and in hand at my FFL within 16-18 days (listed lead time was 1-2 weeks following receiving FFL transfer info)
Rich –
Absolutely bad@ss! Love this lower…..quality and controls are great! Now I just need to get off my backside and start the process to get that recce5k to top it off!
Will Robinson –
I grabbed this for a HK416 upper, wanting ambi controls, but wanting a more traditional look to mate up with the pedastrian-esque looks of the upper.
Well, it delivered… Kinda.
It’s design is rather understated, but it’s finished so flawlessly and well that it outshines the salty HK upper.
The controls aside, I really like the trigger guard, specifically the straight portion to the rear, as it allows the shelf on the BCM pistol grip I’d decided on using.
One thing I’d like to see is the use of pictograms instead of Safe, Semi, and Auto markings, but that’s the smallest of nits to pick.
Overall, fantastic lower, for a fantastic price!
Tai Nguyen –
Great lower for the price. Looks and
Functions just as good as American defense or radian but a much better affordable price
Luis Matallana –
MK2 Ambi lower definitely met expectations, craftsmanship that goes into making these pieces are second to none, I will be getting a couple more
BigBen –
This is my first full ambi lower. The milspec fit and finish matched up with my Daniels Defense upper perfectly. There was no play at all.
Right side bolt catch and release lever works great. It is very similar to the Sig Mcx Spear Lt.
Left side mag release is in a good position and it works great. Does not come with a mag catch assembly.
Integrated trigger gaurd is large very nice for glove use.
Thanks Griffin for a great product. I’ll be buying more ambi lowers (MK2) soon.
Andrew –
This lower is the best fully ambidextrous lower money can buy. Fit and finish are excellent. The gryphon roll mark is very slick. Wish they featured it on the Mk. 1… (maybe?). Ambi controls are very ergonomic. I think I prefer them to the MARS-L/H. Price point is unbeatable, which I almost can’t understand because they make them to order if you buy from them. Oh, and M16 pocket cut is neat.
If you’re in the market for an ar-15 lower, this is the one you want.
Mike –
This is a great option to those who are wishing for a really solid option to get ambi controls at a reasonable price. Machine work and quality is incredible. Love the flared magwell and oversized trigger guard. Great product for any build!
Phillip Torres –
This is the best lower on the market. They are forged custom and made to order. Buy with confidence. I will be using these on all my builds moving forward.
Moses –
Excellent finish quality and machining would recommend to anyone needing an ambi lower at a fair price
Joshua Baker –
Absolutely love it, the ambi bolt catch lever work so well!!
BCR –
i signed up using the DI program I will be using the program and installing a GP% on this build. I will be using a LaRue 12 inch barrel. to make this a true 16 inch suppressed. This quality, build, ambi details is mind blowing. i am comparing this to my LaRue , and this is beatng it hands down. As a retired USMc Infantry guy of 20 yrs.. i only wished I had a M4built with this features and quality!
J Healy Jr –
Owner of Griffin products for years. I have waited for the MK2 and I am a MK1 owner. I am a gunsmith/builder at a commercial gun store and have built lowers including AX556, MARS-L, FCD, & the infamous UIC Ambi. The fit and finish of the Griffin MK2 is perfect. Its the Top-Shelf M4E1 with better ergos, even counting the Aero pro series. Cannot wait to build this lower, A+
Martin –
Great quality. Top notch. Outstanding product. The Best!
G Racca –
Did a lot of research before choosing this. Even my FFL Dealer was impressed by the look and function of the MK2 Lower
Solomon –
The original UIC! Without the absorbent price mark up! This is an excellent lower receiver. Every AR build from here on out will be on a MK 2 lower for me. Thank you Griffen Armament!
Ben Onekenobi –
Beautifully crafted quality that makes you proud your American!We need more of this attention to detail across the board.For the Republic
Lorenzo –
Runs great on DD mk18 upper and Giselle super 42. NS
R. B. –
This was a great piece for an even better price point. My Clone has come together with some other outstanding parts, and once the muzzle device has cured it is off to the range to see my hard work pay off. Customer service has been excellent as well! Would purchase another one but safe is full.
Benjamin –
Smooth anodizing, comfortable controls and a great value. Paired mine with a Centurion Arms thermal fit upper and they fit together perfect with zero wobble.
