The FDE finish isn’t just for looks—it provides practical advantages in field conditions while resisting wear and corrosion.

Technical Specifications and Build Considerations

When planning your AR-10 build around this lower receiver, consider these important technical aspects. The receiver is designed specifically for .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO caliber firearms, making it suitable for hunting, target shooting, and tactical applications. As an 80% lower, it requires milling of the fire control group pocket, trigger pin holes, and selector switch hole to become functional. We recommend using proper jigs and machining equipment for completion. The receiver features standard AR-10 magazine compatibility and will work with most DPMS Gen 1 compatible parts kits. Always ensure you have the proper tools, knowledge, and comply with all federal, state, and local regulations when completing an 80% receiver.
