Griffin Armament, a name synonymous with innovation and precision in the firearms industry, has unveiled their highly-anticipated MK2 series rifles, marking a significant leap forward in firearm design and functionality. The standout feature of this new generation is the inclusion of an ambidextrous lower receiver, addressing the needs of both right-handed and left-handed shooters.
One of the key differentiators between the Mark I and Mark II generations is the introduction of ambidexterity. The ambidextrous lower receiver on the MK2 rifles ensures that every shooter, regardless of their dominant hand, can comfortably and effectively operate the firearm. This commitment to inclusivity is a testament to Griffin Armament’s dedication to meeting the diverse needs of the shooting community.
What truly sets the MK2 series apart is the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. Griffin Armament has left no stone unturned, building these rifles entirely with their own premium parts. From the forged and Type 3 hard coat anodized receivers to the 416R SS HEDP barrels, every component reflects the brand’s commitment to excellence.
The MK2 series rifles are equipped with a range of Griffin Armament’s proprietary components, including Enhanced BCGs, AR-SOB buffers, Maritime receiver extensions, Contour Connect QD end plates, PRIMO gas blocks, and a choice between Low-Pro or SR M-LOK handguards, which come with RailShield M-LOK slot covers for added versatility.
Ergonomics and comfort are also a top priority with the inclusion of A3 pistol grips, ESC stocks, and SN-ACH ambidextrous charging handles. These features collectively enhance the shooting experience, allowing users to maintain control and accuracy.
The MK2 series offers a diverse lineup, catering to a wide range of preferences and applications. Currently, this lineup includes two rifles and five SBRs. Shooters can opt for the .223/5.56 chambering with a Wylde chamber or the formidable .300 Blackout. Barrel length options are available in 9.5″, 11.5″, 14.5″, and 16″, ensuring that there’s an MK2 rifle to suit every need.
Griffin Armament’s MK2 series rifles are not just a step forward; they represent a leap in firearm design. With ambidextrous features, meticulous craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality, these rifles are poised to become a favorite among discerning shooters. For those seeking excellence in every shot, the MK2 series delivers.
