Reviews Summary
The Freedom Wolf 80% lower offers a true Glock-like experience with solid construction and a comfortable grip, but many users face frustration sourcing compatible Gen 3 and Gen 4 parts. The provided jig is criticized for being ineffective, leading to inconsistent drilling. Overall, while it shows potential, challenges with parts compatibility and jig performance leave many weary.

Hard Pass
Like other have said, you need to source both Gen3 and Gen4 parts to complete. It looks good but thats about the only nice thing I can say about it. The grip is short and the magwell is terrible. It really feels like its just cobbled together with a bunch of spare parts in the end.

Ok Frame, Terrible Jig, Lack of Parts
Ill start with the positive: the cutting was easy as butter with a X-Acto knife. I literally didnt have to sand anything except the locking block channel, it cut so smooth. I loved the grip angle and interchangeable back strap. The optional flared magwell was not for me, but it fit clean and I can see how some people would enjoy it. Now on to the negative: unless you want to void your warranty by cutting off a little extra plastic, you NEED an incredibly difficult to find Early Gen 4 locking block, or try and get one from LWD which is impossible with their back order. You also need a Gen 4 trigger housing which is annoying to find on its own, and a Gen 4 mag release. There is no Gen 4 kit I could find except the one LWD sells (again, on back order). Now the down right awful: unlike ever other 80% Lower, the FreedomWolf come with a jig that does not cover the full frame. It lightly slips into the rail holes and snaps in, but in no way is prevented from moving around on the gun. Even following the directions from Lone Wolf to the letter, I drilled my holes off center. When I fit all the pieces together without the rails, everything worked fine, slide and all. Once I installed the rails however, I could see the locking block was raised due to my off center jig making off center holes. But it turns out unlike P80, the rails are glued into the side of the frame! There is no way to replace the jig and try and fix the holes at all. Overall I was impressed with the construction and features of the FreedomWolf, but the difficulty finding parts and the truly terrible jig (have I said how useless the jig is yet?) I will likely be using P80 for my 80% lowers from now on.

Dont Buy!
I guess I shouldve read the item description better. This Lone Wolf lower does not come with the locking block like the Polymer 80 lowers do. Also, this Lone Wolf lower requires a combination of Gen 3 and Gen 4 parts to complete. This means you either have to buy each part individually according to Gen (try finding a Glock Gen 4 trigger housing right now) or you have to buy Lone Wolfs special lower parts kit for this frame from their website. And of course, Lone Wolf does not have the kits in stock. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on the ATF 80% lower ruling and who knows how that is going to affect future firearm parts availability. Also, the grip is too short. I have medium sized hands and my pinky finger rides on the ridge at the opening of the mag well which makes for an uncomfortable grip. If I had to do over, I would not have purchased this lower.
