The Best AR-15 Lower Receivers -- Ambi Features Examined

[@adamwhite6581]

Appreciate the break down of what the ambi options are out there.

[@m.shaneparks2835]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but LWRCi actually came out with the ambi receiver before anyone else, then LMT copied the design. No discredit to LMT, but LWRCi’s is constructed stronger than LMT’s. LMT’s did a short cut with the cut in the receiver for the right side bolt catch/release, whereas LWRCi’s is drilled cleanly in the receiver. Look at an LWRCi and an LMT side by side and you’ll see what I mean.

[@tony5tark]

Hey who makes that Mag button that's on the LMT. Thanks!

[@J.Young808]

I’m glad I got an LWRCi then as my first firearm. I just wish MLok was available in 2018 when I bought my M6IC DI.

Great video! Awesome explanation. Best ambi video I have seen on YT

Love that LMT Lower! Really interesting video! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

[@NSWelding556]

Great video . I’m trying to decide between the LMT and LWRC .. back and forth .. I wish the tano LMT weren’t limited release

[@washingtoncommandcenter5541]

Radian is the best IMO, the added function of being able to drop the mag and lock the bolt with 1 button press to clear double feeds is a true advancement in the AR design. When their patten runs out EVERYONE will copy this.

[@NickNardone]

Amazing video! Thank you for taking the time to create this.

[@Wypipo1990]

With the pony sticker, nice

[@cognition26]

The bolt catch on both side makes you faster since it reduces the process by one step you won't have to swap hands and you can stay on target. No need to hold the bolt catch with your left hand it can cycle the charging handle right away since your right hand is doing it, since there's a malfunction the trigger isn't working it might as well be holding the bolt catch.

[@twissted1277]

I use the Phase 5 ambi bolt release on my lowers. It's simple and movement is minimal. I even have it on my Watchmen .300 win mag. Amazing gun I might add.

[@roberttaylor7451]

LWRC produced that pattern of ambi lower before LMT, l think both are good quality but I feel the LWRC is superior because of their chf barrels.

[@trigonarmammentinc]

I didn't realize LWRC was first. Thanks for the info!

[@J.Young808]

I went with an LWRCi M6IC DI because of the ambi lower. I am right handed and left eye dominant so I wasn’t sure if I’d shoot rifles lefty or righty. So far I’m shooting righty.

[@roberttaylor7451]

As much as I love my LWRC rifles I am done with them. My 6.8 UICW needs an adjustable gas block and they want to rebarrel it! The barrel is still fantastic and I am not paying for another at this point just to adjust for a suppressor. Really stupid in my opinion. I would give the customer what they want. I own two of the six8 line and I do love them but shit! Done done done

[@shirolee]

Great video!

[@apb2887]

I was going to comment the exact same thing below me, it was LWRC who had that am below at first and LMT copied them

[@moorees335]

Fanstastic video. I have a KAC CQB 11.5 Mod 2 upper on Layaway. I’m in the homestretch and debating between the LMT and PWS. It’s killing me. I would change the safety and trigger on the PWS to an SSA-X. The LMT I would run the AXL for a little while but change the stock to a Magpul SL and safety. Likely Badger safeties. Halp!! Lol

[@ProudFudd]

LMT - MARS. Resale value + Military history.

[@longiusaescius2537]

Hmm

[@moorees335]

@@longiusaescius2537 I got the PWS on sale and the SSA-X. Probably impatience but it pairs nicely with the upper I have now.

@@moorees335 is it good?

[@moorees335]

@@longiusaescius2537 you’ll laugh but I have been so tied up with family and work I haven’t had a chance to get to the range. Being in the city to go to an indoor range is just a little let down too especially since now being suppressed. I hope soon. Only small complaint on the lower is that the left side mag release rattles a little bit in fit. In the scheme of things it’s quiet but I’d rather silence. Maybe carbon will gunk it up.

[@dirtybrd702]

The ambi mag release by Strike Industries will fit the silencer co lower

[@patrickwooton966]

The Sharps Bros "livewire" also has a ambi bolt release. They're ok.

[@David_S_ST5]

Troy makes a great ambi mag release also

[@BossHugo84]

I know I'm late to this , But ACTUALLY LMT COPIED LWRC . LWRC was the First Company to come out with a True 100% Ambi Lower .

[@J.Young808]

The main reason I got an M6IC DI as my first firearm, their spiral fluted barrel was another. Being my first firearm I wasn’t sure how I’d shoot since I’m right handed and left eye dominant

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

Great vid!

[@BigPom-fk8re]

I know you put this 9 months ago but If I recall the new UTG or something "they are the true" ambi reflective. Meaning the bolt catch is same place both left and right and same for magazine release. That is even cooler than LMT but I still prefer Radians

[@shannonmarcantel7993]

All my KACs have LMT MARS L lowers. Hard to find complete KAC rifles and I prefer the LMT lowers.

[@tony5tark]

who makes the Magazine Button

[@isaudy]

POF P415 lower is super nice too but that PWS is even nicer. Also cheaper.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

What about an ambidextrous trigger and stock adjustment levers?

[@msquared9605]

Juice ain’t worth the squeeze on those. Too expensive for the upgrade in performance

[@msquared9605]

Griffin MK2 😎

[@mekajiki7861]

That's not a Mod 2, that's a Mod 2-M. I thought I was going to love the LMT but the bolt release/hold open is right where I put my finger when I'm off the trigger, so it really gets in the way. I imagine the PWS MK1 Mod2-M is the same so I opted for the MK1 Mod 2 which is pretty much the same as the Knights but better and doesn't have a 5-year-old's drawing of a knight on the side. Also they use pictograms.

[@KaneGregory]

The BCM mk2 with a ADM lower and a LMT bolt why because I’m a southpaw and the MK2 has more room for expanding gasses the LMT bolt is delayed letting more gasses to escape and the ADM because it’s awesome!🧠🤯🔫

[@apb2887]

Best ambi lower IMO is the MVB industries ambi lower.

[@Meat_Demon]

Radian ADAC is the best Ambi lower IMO!

I didn't have one for the video, but they work basically the same way as the Silencerco lowers.

[@natewahl9873]

I was thinking the same. You compared it to the silencer co. I would that it needs to be compared with the ADAC. ADM (I have a few) come with ambi mag release unlike the silencer co and it’s right up there I feel with the best of the best.

As someone who vehemently hates ambi safeties... please dont make them stock with every lower.

[@lenzielenski3276]

I'm really sick of AR videos where the creator comments "pick a good quality/reliable brand". And exactly how does anyone do that when 98% of you make that same dumb comment? No one should ever say "I like" without giving the reason behind a preference. Those that can, do, those that can't, teach. Those that can't do either post to KZbin.

"Those that can, do, those that can't, teach. Those that can't do either post to KZbin." ... and those that do neither, talk shit in the comment section.
