Ambi lower comparisons
Why so fuddie duddie? Just because something isn't necessary doesn't mean it isn't good.
I like the ambi controls on the HK handguns. Are they needed? Clearly not. But to me, it all feels natural.
The AX556 is like that for the AR. Ditto the Raptor and BAD-ASS.
To me, it just feels right. Does it make me a better shooter.. dunno. Probably a bit, but probably not a huge amount. Do I care? Nope.

Anyone looked into the new Spikes Gen2 billet lower? Looks interesting.

You found the lower that cost more than the AX556, $450.

Nice info, thanks a lot. I think I'm moving toward the STT-15 (Grenade - i recon it will look like it's been broken in, who needs a safe queen anyhow) now. This will be mated with my Stag Lefty upper, but then probably, I'll buy another upper to fully build. But first, I think a new trigger is more important.

OK. Everyone get out of this thread. You are misguided in your interest. Move along. Nothing to see here.

I went with the San-Tan Tactical SST-15 and have no regrets, even though it is on the pricy side.

I've owned a lot of ambi lowers. I own 2 KAC's, 3 Mega's, 2 San Tan's, and some others. I used to own a AX556. (sold it to a buddy when there was a long waiting list and he was dying for one)
Now, the AX556 as mentioned is $429.99. For that price, you get a good looking lower receiver, but is it $130 better than the San Tan? Not in my opinion.
I've been shooting the AR platform for so long, left handed, it actually screws me up when using ambi mag releases. Even my duty setup only utilizes an ambi safety, the BAD-CASS. I find that I have to retrain myself to use the ambi features.
If you like the looks of the AX556 and think it's worth your $429.99. Have at it. Personally, I think a forged lower with a Norgon, and a BAD-ASS works well for a lefty.

Hey guys first post. Not to throw a wrench into the gears but have you looked into the LWRC ambi lower? They are complete but not sold alone by LWRC. Some companies separate the lowers and uppers. Check modern Outfitters if your interested.
