Description
The Fortis License Gen II Matched Set gives you both the upper and lower receiver machined to fit each other, so you get that snug, rattle-free lockup that separates a solid build from a wobbly one. Both halves start as 7075 T6 billet aluminum, then get finished in mil-spec Type III hard coat anodizing for a tough, corrosion-resistant surface that holds up to real range time. The Gen II keeps everything people liked about the original License and adds integrated carbon fiber to trim weight without giving up strength.
What Sets the License Gen II Ambi Apart
The ambidextrous setup is the headline here. You get an ambi magazine release plus a bolt release on the strong or index side, which is a genuine help for lefties and anyone who runs their rifle with either hand. Fortis kept the extras that matter and skipped the gimmicks, so you'll find a flared magwell with serrations for faster, more positive reloads, an oversized trigger guard that leaves room for gloved fingers, and markings for a 45 degree safety lever. There's also a receiver tension screw so you can dial out any play between the upper and lower for a rock-solid fit.
Building on the Fortis License Set
Because this is a stripped matched set, it's the blank canvas for a custom build. You supply the lower parts kit, trigger, buffer system, barreled upper internals, and furniture, then drop them into a receiver pair that's already dimensioned to work together. The one-piece billet design and clean machining make it a favorite starting point for folks who care about a precise fit and a distinctive look, with the raised embossed logo on one side and the F'N shield on the other. Proudly made in the USA, the License Gen II is the kind of foundation you build once and never second-guess.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Fortis License Gen II a complete rifle or just receivers?
This is a matched set of just the upper and lower receivers, not a complete rifle. The receivers come stripped, so you'll need to add a lower parts kit, trigger, buffer system, barreled upper components, and furniture to finish your build. Think of it as the foundation you build everything else onto.
What makes the Gen II different from the original License lower?
The Gen II carries over all the features from the first-generation License and adds integrated carbon fiber to the design. That carbon fiber integration is the main upgrade, helping keep the set light while keeping the 7075 T6 billet strength intact.
Why choose a matched receiver set over buying an upper and lower separately?
A matched set is machined so the upper and lower fit each other precisely, which cuts down on the slop or wobble you can get when pairing random receivers. The License Gen II also includes a receiver tension screw so you can take out any remaining play for a tight, solid lockup. That precise fit is a big part of why builders reach for matched sets.
Does the ambi configuration work for right-handed shooters too?
Absolutely. The ambidextrous magazine release and strong-side bolt release give you more ways to run the rifle no matter which hand you favor. Righties get the convenience of extra control options, and lefties finally get controls that work naturally for them.
