Griffin Armament have introduced the second generation of their AR-15 pattern rifles. The main difference of the new Griffin Armament MK2 family of rifles from the MK1 guns is the new lower receiver that has ambidextrous controls (magazine release button, bolt catch/release, safety lever). Let’s take a closer look at the specs and features of new Griffin Armament MK2 series rifles.

The Griffin MK2 AR-15 Series rifles are true, front-line fighting rifles. With everything you need and nothing you don’t, front to back, Griffin rifles leave no stone unturned.

The MK2 Rifle series builds on the features of the MK1 by improving the foundation of the rifle, its lower receiver. The Griffin MK2 fully-ambidextrous lower receiver features a full-ambi control suite utilizing intellectual property developed by Griffin circa 2013.
