Confident_Bit_7613@reddit
Wats 20-30 extra dollars lol don’t be cheap bro and plus it’s free shipping
Electric_Sal@reddit
Lol, I guess 😂 Do you like the ambi? I have LWRC and Silencerco Ambi and they're not bad... Silencerco though is a bit of a pain with the ambi bolt catch
Confident_Bit_7613@reddit

high_right@reddit
FYI, these will take forever to ship
Rev_Glazer@reddit
I waited 10 days for a thread protector to ship.
xX_Monster97_Xx@reddit
I waited a month and a half for some plastic pieces. They didnt even have to shop them i picked store pickup.
high_right@reddit
They waited a month to ship my lower
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
Got my tracking today
CanuckTac@reddit
In my experience (Griffin dealer) they either ship in 45 minutes or 45 days. You never really know which one it’s gonna be 😂
No_Leg6630@reddit
No bs
redit_readit_reddit@reddit
+1 don't be in a hurry
nopenope12345678910@reddit
Do they make a green upper that matches
redoggle@reddit
Nope. And other uppers from different companies won't match super closely. I got a dirty bird odg ano upper and the match is just okay. A bit brighter/shinier than the lower.
Fwiw, green ano receivers rarely match well even when they're from the same company. Color variance is just part of the process
nopenope12345678910@reddit
Well that makes not buying one an easy decision, thanks for the quick response.
Coyoteishere@reddit
I wish they did a builder set in this color, I would definitely buy. But seeing all the assembled rifles with this green lower and black upper looks as bad as I assumed it would be.
Draconieray@reddit
On my blem from a couple years ago, every hole is slightly oversized. I ended up getting larger pins because of it. And a super safety sits loose in it as well
Educational-Wall-997@reddit
did you contact them? their blem disclaimer does not include defects like that.
Coyoteishere@reddit
All companies say cosmetic only, but after watching SOTAR gauge a blem from another high end brand, I wont buy blem receivers. Seeing people’s experience like this confirms my choice. It aint worth the minimal discount in the long term. Most are probably within “spec”, but as SOTAR pointed out, they are likely in the loose end of the spec which is like a rifle with 10s of thousands of rounds. Add in tolerance stacking like undersized pins and you get the result above. Most won’t ever notice or use their rifles enough to notice, nor have all the expensive gauges to check. Even more worrying and confirmation to me is always the people saying in the reviews of the blems “I can’t find a single mark on it, it’s looks perfect, not even sure why it’s a blem”. They thinking they made out, I see them missing the things they can’t see.
Draconieray@reddit
It took months for them to ship the thing, I didn't care enough to bother
mechmd@reddit
Is this a better value than ADM's ambi offerings?
redoggle@reddit
Iirc they designed the mk2 together. Extremely similar designs. Griffin's is forged while adm is billet. Fit and finish is better than cheapo milspec lowers but worse than ADM's. I think griffin is much better value, but different people have different priorities.
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
If I recall, it was a Griffin design which ADM licensed, and then refused to pay afterwards
JabbaDuhNutt@reddit
I've never been able to find any evidence for this. If it was try they would sue them and force them to stop selling it Years ago.
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
In a different reply, I just said I’m 99% sure I have seen Griffin also make the claim
JabbaDuhNutt@reddit
If they are not taking legal action it's Bull shit. It's been Many many years since the claim and they did nothing because they have nothing. They made a bad deal, and they need to live with it.
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
So is the consensus at minimum that it was their design and ADM got it from them?
JabbaDuhNutt@reddit
Correct, Griffin was the originated it, they had some kind of deal with ADM. A long while after "they" posted a grievance on a public form about a license licensing issue but that was it from my research. No confirmation if it was cleared up, or if it was actually real. In the end Griffin lowers are lower quality finishing than ADM in my experience and I prefer the billet approach.
BloodyRimhole@reddit
Seems like that would be something to be sure of before repeating
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
It’s been posted multiple times , but I guess no one knows for sure without reviewing legal documents, correspondence, etc.
I’m 99% sure Griffin posted it as well
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
ADM ripped off Griffin, and the Griffin is forged so physically superior
Obsidizyn@reddit
i have multiple of both, ADM fit and finish is superior in every way. However, ADM was a great value when you could get them for $305 on sale. Now days MAYBE you can get it on sale for $350. Wouldnt pay the full $400
StaryWolf@reddit
I believe the ambi system is exactly the same. Iirc ADM licenses the design from Griffin, grain of salt and all that.
There is nothing "value" about a $400 lower, but if you want a premium ambi lower ADM will do.
armond21@reddit
Very similar design. Was a co development between the both of them before a falling out. Basically billet vs forged. I have a pair of MK2s and they're really nice for the (black friday) price. Don't know that I would pay retail.
ConsistentMud2140@reddit
Don't....do....it. horrible customer service and shit company.
kissmygame17@reddit
Fwiw every mistake I made and things I complained about were taken care of no questions asked
ConsistentMud2140@reddit
That has NOT been my experience nor several other individuals who are very involved in the shooting community. Glad you had good service for a bad product though. I wish I did.
kissmygame17@reddit
What issues were you having with it
ConsistentMud2140@reddit
Scope mount came cracked and looked used, another came with missing screws, and their dive board doesn't stay flat. This was a few years ago and only heard back about the screws. All other communication was ignored.

SkataN369@reddit
Wow, I snagged one and an extra power spring for less after tax and S/H last year.
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
I wonder why the green is $20 more than the black or brown
No_Leg6630@reddit
Same reason fde is always more than black.
TheFireOfPrometheus@reddit
Terra brown is the same price as black
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
Different process I guess.
Competitive_Use7847@reddit
I got my blem for $150 a little over a year ago and got my non blem for like $200
hitemlow@reddit
Isn't this what normal ones go for when they're actually in stock?
No_Leg6630@reddit
Just wait until BF normally 30-40% off? But screw this company
ChillBlintone@reddit
Hmm, pay the extra 20 bucks or wait almost a year
ToastedSoup@reddit
yeah, they charge more for the Warhawk Green ano so the blems are the same price as the non-blem black or terra brown Mk2s
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
yeah, more like in-stock notice, but with this drop being out of usual holiday there are more chances to get them sooner than month later.
osirhc@reddit
fwiw mine shipped in three weeks during Black Friday
Dunesday_JK@reddit
I’ve had a complete upper waiting on a Warhawk lower for ever now. Missed it again.
69420blazeit_org_edu@reddit
I just can't justify $200 for a lower when that money can go to better components on an upper
Dunesday_JK@reddit
It’s easy to just do both
TooEZ_OL56@reddit
Clear a double feed in sub 5 seconds and without having to juggle your hands around the bolt catch/charging handle and you'll rethink that
hitemlow@reddit
It's hard to make one ambi for less, without resorting to a BAD lever for bolt hold open and you'll need an aftermarket ambi mag release. From what I've seen, it looks like all aftermarket ambi magazine releases will overlap with the BAD lever, so that's not ideal at best and straight up won't work for some.
Captain_Cannabis_@reddit
I got the email straight from them and they were out of stock in <15 minutes. You guys are animals
Tasty-Research-6767@reddit
Aside from the weird drama surrounding griffin, I'd like to say I have an Mk2 and as a leftie, this thing fucks.
notorious_hdc@reddit
Saw a few people in MTS or MT6 have problems with their blems they got on BOGO deal
memearms@reddit
Fuck griffin.
armond21@reddit
Na, Griffin fucks.

May want to check out this thread and the owners comments.
chekhovs_rum@reddit
Goddamn. Came here to get a lower to compare against my ADM-UIC.
Now leaving to start practicing more gratitude towards my managers and coworkers.
What a ride
slasher0739@reddit
I’m not reading all that, but I’m happy for you, or sorry that happened.
memearms@reddit
Didn’t happen to me. Just seems like a shitty company. Spend your money how you want.
armond21@reddit
Already did. Based.

FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
Are they new Troy?
Impossible-Chance993@reddit
For what reason
dumb_dav@reddit
I alr know someone is going to say not to buy Griffin bc they’re based
cdillon42@reddit
What's wrong with griffin?
hitemlow@reddit
There's one guy going around with an axe to grind. Doesn't even post on their main account, they made a throwaway that does nothing but crosspost their grievance post.
In summary, it accuses Griffin of running their business like many "glorified highschool" small businesses are run.
memearms@reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/NFA/s/7Rwun16zDL here’s the thread. Griffin owner also chimed in. Not a great look.
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
wow.
dumb_dav@reddit
Some guy made a post about them being a toxic and racist company because they got fired
cdillon42@reddit
Oh. I must have missed that
redoggle@reddit
I picked up one of the green ones. AFAIK they're only being sold as blems because they're testing the ano process for the color and don't want to call them 100% gtg until they're done testing.
It's more of a true olive drab than most other odg ano stuff. Makes it impossible to find an upper that will color match, as Griffin doesn't make one AFAIK. But green ano rarely color matches well anyway. YMMV
As a receiver, it's good. Full ambi. I like it. Not much else to say.
Salacious_Crumbs_@reddit
Does the cowboy code work on anything else?
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
I think it was working on most things but optics and cans, but didn't check all of them.
DayOk1729@reddit
OOS already
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
damn, that was fast
DayOk1729@reddit
Yeah, went to go to add to cart and it was OOS. Did you get one in?
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
Sorry for disappointment. Didn't proceed to cart, as I've seen legit OOS for Terra and expected them to keep actual stock status on the item page.
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
I've got confirmation for terra blem, so hopefully it wasn't overstock
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit (OP)
Warhawk green
There was Terra brown Blems and I've grabbed it right after notification, but when I've checked it prior reddit post -- it was OOS already.
