I run Norgons on all my ARs. One of the best mods a lefty can run.

Sadly the troy was the only one that worked on my lower for some reason

I am a fan of the Troy ambi mag release, but I am not giving them any more of my moneyuntil they fix their issues. Does the Norgon work with Pmags? I heard it didn't, but that was a while ago.

I have 4 or 5 of them and they all work with PMAGS just fine, even the one on my 308 AR.

As a lefty I put these on all ARs, but I hate paying $90 for it and they disappear from the EE in minutes. So I was excited to see them on sale for $70 at DSG Not a DSG employee, just a good deal on something that is never on sale. Thanks for the heads up. I've had one on my "want list"...actually it was the last thing to finish off a build, but the $90 price tag always seemed a bit ridiculous. $70 is still a bit much BUT much better

I started out with two on clone Canadian Diemaco C7A2 and C8 FTHB carbine, then started to use them on all my builds, when I can get them reasonably. For what little piece of metal they are, certainly are fricken expensive, gold plated or something.

Mine is nice and works as it should. I never use it unless I force myself to in drills, but never have to worry that it's going to stick.

The gold-plated PRI Gasbuster Handle: No problems with PMags, even the Fo'ty hangs ok on the Norgon. For transitioning both sides of barricade or doorways, its convenient, along with ambi selector and at a minimum, install the PRI Military Latch on your stock charging handle. I like it better than the Diemaco ambi charging handle that catches every single piece of webbing withing a 1 meter radius. |

I too am a lefty I used to add all that stuff until I just bought an ambi lower, they work much better in my opinion.

What is different/better about an ambi lower than a regular one with a left sided mag release and ambi safety? I know they also have a right sided bolt catch release, but as a lefty I use my trigger finger. |

Best ambi mag release available. I have them on all of my non-KAC rifles.

I just installed mine...great product, until I installed the BAD lever which I won't get rid of. Maybe it's my sausage fingers but it's extremely difficult to press the Norgon while gripping the rifle left handed and even using a right handed grip and attempting to press the lever while pulling the mag with my left hand is tough.
I did some reading on whether the Norgon would play well with the BAD lever and as far as I remember there weren't any issues? Oh well...at least it looks cool

Is the button just hard to push or is because of the position? If it's just hard, try unscrewing it 1-2 turns to lessen the tension. Are you left handed? If so why do you need the BAD lever? I can just hit the bolt release with my trigger finger.

I'm a lefty and I have Troys on my fun guns, and norgans on my clones beacuse they are issued, and look like the original.
Why does everyone hate on Troy now? I think it is much easier to hit than the norgan, and is a bit lighter / faster being that it levers on the receiver. It would be easier to reach and hit around your BAD lever (which is right handed crap and should be taken off). Personally I think the KAC looks like junk, I'm sure it works but it looks super bulky. |

I can just hit the bolt release with my trigger finger. It's a bit firm and maybe loosening it up will help, but mainly the Norgon is hard to press because of its position in relation to the BAD lever. I'm right handed but do a fair amount of left handed shooting with my ARs which is why I wanted an ambi mag release. Everything else on my rifles are ambi(Raptor CH, safety levers, BAD lever) so I figured why not

Most of the ARs I've built are set up with Norgons and ambi selectors so they are easier for my left handed friends to use. I practice shooting left handed, ut not enought to be very good at it

Most people dislike Troy for reasons other than the quality of their products. I do have one of their ambi mag releases that I bought before I found out about the Norgon and it works just as well. Some don't like it because it is leveraging against the surface of the receiver and may wear on the finish. I like the Norgon better mostly because it looks cleaner and more natural. |

I'm building a .308.
It's my understanding all the AR15 lower parts will work with my .308 lower except front takedown pin, bolt hold open/release and mag release. Is the Norgon ambi long enough to accommodate the wider mag well of the .308? I have a .223 Rainier billet ambi lower I'm planning on buying the Norgon for as well. |

You are probably going to have to ask PSA, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. I think people have had issues with them not being compatible with various parts. |
