Description
This .308 80% lower is a billet-machined foundation for a large-frame AR build. It’s for builders who want a solid, no-fuss start for a .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. The key benefit is its straightforward design and durable finish—our staff noted the coating held up through three aggressive cleaning cycles with Hoppes solvent. We added this to our catalog in late 2024 and it’s proven reliable with consistently positive feedback.
What Makes It Stand Out
- 7075-T6 Billet Aluminum: Machined from a solid block for strength and dimensional consistency.
- Durable Type III Hardcoat Anodizing: Provides a tough, wear-resistant finish that stands up to solvents and handling.
- Standard .308/AR-10 Pattern: Compatible with common DPMS-pattern parts kits and jigs for a predictable build process.
- Clean, Simple Design: No unnecessary machining or logos, giving you a blank canvas for your project.
- Positive Fire Control Pocket: Pre-machined with clear reference surfaces to simplify your milling work.
