    Aero Precision Ambi Lower Gen2 Review

    Hey gents, this is a quick and easy review of Aero Precision's Ambi Lower Gen2.



    As a left/satan handed shooter I am always on the lookout for products to make my job easier. I have also collected an assortment of lowers looking for the perfect setup, but most lack a way to lock the bolt to the rear, and the ones which do are uber $.

    That is until now.

    Aero has released their Gen2 lower that has a nifty bolt catch/release design called the PDQ that comes standard with this lower, and is available for purchase separately and after some modifications to your lower will work with most milspec style lowers. This not only releases your bolt, it also allows the shooter to lock it back using their index finger.



    As you lift up on the PDQ it raises the bolt catch into the locking position.


    This lower is also compatible with Battle Arms development's amazing Short Throw Selectors without modification to the selector barrel.



    After I received this lower I installed goodies from many of the forum sponsors and overall good guys (I still need a set of BAD EPS pins hint hint Roger) and converted it into a pistol configuration until my tax stamp comes in the mail. I tried running it at a local fun match but my scores weren't so great which I blame on it being a pistol instead of a rifle, because it couldn't be shooter error at all



    Over all I am impressed with the design of this lower, and at a price point of $165 it is a bargain.

    Nice review bro!

    Yeah the notch on the selector barrel hole is a nice touch. Like I told you the other day, would really like to try out this lower.

    One important question. Can you put a BAD lever on it?!

    I have none so far. I have used Troy battlemags, Gen 2 and 3 Pmags, and Lancer AWM's. I will have to dig up a USGI mag to try it out, I only have a couple.

    As a fellow satan-hander I approve. $165 beats the hell out of $750 for a KAC SR15 lower, even if the KAC lower comes "fully loaded."

    Just out of curiosity, how does the right-side bolt release/lock "feel?" Would you say it is as sturdy as the standard left side paddle?

    I see them.

    Can you buy the bolt catch separately?

    Maybe he's referring to the magwell.

    Is there some kind of interference between the PDQ lever and the dust cover? All the other pics I see around seem to show that the dust cover has been removed.

    ETA: Nevermind, I found out what the deal is. The dust cover doesn't open all the way with the PDQ in place, but it shouldn't be a problem. MAC has a video covering this.
