SI Defense Shipping Mirrored Ambi AR Receiver Sets

    SI-Defense, known for their fully mirrored ambidextrous .308 receiver sets has (finally!) gotten around to releasing the baby brother mirrored control set for the standard AR-15. Like its .308 sibling, the matched receiver set is replete with fully ambidextrous magazine release and bolt catch/releases. The bolt catch/release is pulled farther back in the receiver compared to a standard AR so it can clear the ejection port door.

    The Receivers are fully machined 7075-T6 aluminum with the standard black anodization. Both take standard AR parts including forward assist, trigger group, and safety/selector. Taking it a step further, the barrel extension bore is precision reamed for an excellent fit.

    Receiver sets are available for $525 direct from SI-Defense and their distributors.

    The SI Defense .223/5.56 receiver set is the ultimate ambidextrous receiver set. The ambidextrous bolt catch release and magazine release are mirrored identically on both sides of the receiver. These features are unique and unparalleled in the industry and were engineered to accommodate the left and right handed shooter. Special attention was given to incorporate smooth transitions throughout the receiver set, giving it a feel of confidence and reliability. The bore is machined perpendicularly and concentrically for superior accuracy. Receiver Set includes: dust cover, Ambi bolt catch, and Ambi mag release button. Unlike other ambi controls on the market our bolt catches lock back the bolt from both sides of the receiver.
