Overview
Built for a custom .308 AR lower build, this stripped receiver gives hunters and rifle builders a starting point for a big-bore platform configured around DPMS pattern components. Its mil-spec dimensions and 7075-T6 aluminum construction are paired with a matte black hard-coat anodized finish, while threaded details for the rear takedown pin detent and bolt catch simplify assembly. The integrated trigger guard and selector markings support use with 45, 60, or 90 degree safety selectors. This is a receiver-focused component, so it is intended for builders who want to assemble the rest of the rifle to their own specifications.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a stripped lower receiver, so it requires the remaining components and a compatible upper to complete a rifle build.
- Compatibility is specific to Gen 1 DPMS .308 components, including magazines and upper receivers, so it is not a universal .308 lower.
- The integrated trigger guard and threaded bolt catch/rear takedown pin features may simplify assembly, but they also lock the build into this receiver’s specific interface details.
- Selector markings are designed to work with 45, 60, or 90 degree safety selectors, so builds using other selector setups may not align as intended.
