works as expected. price is a little steep
LMT MARS-L ambi stripped lower mates with any quality upper with zero detectable play at the takedown pin lugs. Ambi controls cut into the receiver. Black anodize is consistent. Premium lower that lives up to the LMT reputation.
LMT MARS-L ambi lower quality is excellent. Mate to any quality upper has zero play. The black anodize varies slightly between production batches - mine matches a recent run but a side by side with an older LMT lower shows tone differences.
