Key Features

• Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum Construction: Unlike billet receivers, this lower is forged from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, offering superior strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional durability that meets or exceeds mil-spec standards for critical stress areas.
• FIRE/SAFE Selector Markings: The receiver comes pre-engraved with clear, professional “FIRE” and “SAFE” selector markings, a detail that adds a finished, factory-level aesthetic and saves you a machining step.
• Broached Magazine Well: The magwell is precision broached to ensure smooth, reliable magazine insertion and ejection. This process creates a consistently square and dimensionally accurate interface for all standard AR-15 pattern magazines.
• Complete Assembly Kit: This isn’t just a bare receiver. It includes a lower parts kit, butt stock, and buffer tube assembly, consolidating multiple orders into one package and ensuring component compatibility from the start of your build.
• No FFL Required for Purchase: As an unfinished 80% lower receiver, it is not classified as a firearm by the ATF. It can be shipped directly to your door, simplifying the acquisition process for the builder.
• 100% Made in the USA: From the raw forging to the final anodizing, every manufacturing step is performed domestically, ensuring quality control and supporting American industry.
