JP Rifles introduced their ASF-20 Ambidextrous AR-15 Billet Lower Receiver in 2020, and it somehow slipped past the lidless eye of TFB. Ambidextrous, or ambi AR-15 lower receivers have been cropping up in recent years, which give shooters more flexibility in manipulating their rifle controls without having to shift the rifle to one side or another, or awkwardly reposition one’s hand regardless of which shoulder the rifle is up against. The primary benefits of ambi controls on an AR-15 would be for users that need to maneuver tight spaces, and thus change which shoulder they fire from, or to have a shared defensive rifle being used by left and right handed people. The following quote is from JP Rifles’ website regarding their ASF-20 Ambidextrous AR-15 Lower.

ASF-20™ Ambidextrous Rifle and Lower Assemblies
The ergonomics and control of the AR platform have made leaps and bounds in the decades since the development of the original Stoner design. By incorporating some of the best into our design, the ASF-20™ gives both right- and left-handed shooters unparalleled control in a JP rifle. This receiver design combines the A-DAC™ (Ambidextrous Dual Action Catch) system from Radian Weapons with our own JP Ambi Mag. Release. The result is a sleek yet rugged receiver offering full ambidextrous controls for the left-handed shooter plus bolt lockback and release for right-handed shooters without releasing the pistol grip.Whether for a versatile 3-Gun rig, hunting rifle or duty/defense system shared by multiple users, the ASF-20™ answers the call. The ASF-20™ is compatible with any Mil-spec pattern upper receiver to serve as the cornerstone of any rifle project. Whatever your need, we’ve made the ASF-20™ ambi lower accessible:
Fully custom, complete rifle paired with our JP-15™ upper receiver
Complete lower assembly compatible with any Mil-spec pattern upper assembly
Semi-Auto Chassis System bundled with a JP upper receiver and hand guard
