Ambi lower comparisons
I'm working on my new build, and as a lefty, I'm looking at ambi lowers. I really like what Aero, Mega, and ATX have to offer. I've never laid hands on any one of these and wondering if you all have any experience with these. ATX looks to be the primo version, with the Mega being me top choice. Thanks for the help. And I'm sorry im a lefty.

The Ambi bolt release is the main feature i'm looking for.. I've learned to drop the mag with my thumb. I'll take a look a the San Tactical.

I have a couple of the Mega Arms billet Ambi sets and I think I will end up putting the Norgon Ambi mag release on both of them. I put a Norgon release in one of the lowers and have since switched it over to my pistol build, but I release the bolt with my left index finger, so the Norgon mag release lets me drop a mag and release the bolt with my trigger finger on the left hand. For me, the mag release on the left side of any receiver makes it "right" for a left hander...

AXTS and SanTan Tactical. Are the two that I have been looking at. Actually thinking of doing a AXTS lower and using the SanTan upper as they look like they are made for each other on the outside. The sets mixed like this appear to pair up nicely as well.
Just a regular guy.

The AXTS was once one of the only games in town. That's changed in the last few years. High costs and waiting lists. I think there are other viable options. If you want to spend that kind of money, I'd just get a KAC lower.

FWIW, I think we should reward the folks that blazed the trail for the others.
YMMV.

*shrug*
Others have improved on the rail. I don't see the competitors being any better than the AX556.

I can understand not liking the price, but don't understand not liking what you get.
And, considering AFAIK, nobody matches the functionality (or did KAC add an integrated bolt *catch*?), so not sure how you can really quantify value.
In any case, it is nice to see others doing ambi.
I'll still try to grab some photos tomorrow, but MM has some photos as well as a write up:

And besides, from the guys that brought you the Raptor.
