Overview
Built for assembling a custom .308 AR from the ground up, this stripped lower receiver is intended for hunters and shooters who want a DPMS-pattern foundation with compatible magazines and upper receivers. Its mil-spec dimensions are paired with a hard-coat anodized finish, and the integrated trigger guard plus selector markings support use with 45, 60, or 90 degree safety selectors. The threaded rear takedown pin detent hole and screw-pin bolt catch are practical details for a clean, purpose-driven build. As a stripped receiver, it leaves the rest of the configuration to the builder, which is useful for those tailoring a rifle to specific needs.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Fits Gen 1 DPMS .308 components, including magazines and upper receivers, so compatibility should be checked against the rest of the build before purchase.
- This is a stripped lower receiver, so it is only the foundation of the rifle and requires additional matched components to complete a build.
- Selector markings are set up for 45, 60, or 90 degree safety selectors, which is useful but means selector choice should be planned around the intended setup.
- The receiver is finished in matte black hard-coat anodized Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2, which may not match every Kodiak Brown build aesthetic despite the product title.
