An 80 percent lower is the easiest and most affordable way to become the proud new owner of an AR-15 rifle or pistol that's totally custom. Available in standard 5.56 NATO or .223 Win, .308 Win, and 9mm, these 80% lowers afford you the same quality stripped receiver that you’d find at the local gun store. All that's required of you, the builder, is some basic cutting and drilling with a tool called an 80% jig, and some simple hand tools.
Counter to federal law, some states have enacted restrictions or bans on partial firearm kits, individual gun parts, and 80% lowers. We cannot fulfill any orders placed by residents in those states. Please check out Shipping & Returns page to confirm whether your state is restricted before attempting to place an order.
Every 80 percent lower is built to standard, "mil-spec" specifications so they’re compatible with any AR-15 lower parts kit trigger assembly, buffer kit, and upper assembly you’d otherwise buy for an off-the-shelf AR-15 receiver.
To fabricate your receiver and make it ready for assembly, you'll need to perform four steps:
These four steps take less than two hours for most builders with no experience. Experienced "smiths" can complete a receiver blank in around 30 minutes to 1 hour. You'll need a drill press (which can also be used to cut the main cavity with center-cut end mill bits and plunge cutting), a bench top vise, and some machining oil. All 80% jigs include the required drill bits, including a center-cut end mill.
