Overview
Built for assembling a custom .308 AR platform, this stripped lower receiver provides the foundation for a big-bore build using compatible DPMS pattern components, including magazines and upper receivers. Its mil-spec dimensions are intended to support proper component interface, while the integrated trigger guard and selector markings accommodate 45, 60, or 90 degree safety selectors. The rear takedown pin detent hole is threaded for a set screw, and the bolt catch is threaded for a screw pin, which simplifies parts retention during assembly. Finished in matte black hard-coat anodizing, it is aimed at builders who want a clean, purpose-driven lower for a ground-up rifle project.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Stripped lower receiver only; it is the starting point for a build and does not include the upper receiver, magazines, or other components.
- Compatibility is limited to Gen 1 DPMS .308 components, including magazines and upper receiver, so it is not a universal .308 AR lower.
- Assembly is more involved than a complete lower, and the threaded takedown-pin and bolt-catch features are intended for builders who want a custom setup.
- The matte black hard-coat anodized finish is specified, but the title also references OD green, so finish/color details should be verified against the exact item listing.
