Overview
Built for a .308 AR platform, this assembled receiver set provides the foundation for a compatible rifle build using standard DPMS .308 components and magazines. The upper includes M4 feedramps, laser-engraved T-marks, a port door, and a forward assist, while the lower is marked “Cal Multi” for a clean, purpose-driven setup. Both receivers are machined from 7075-T6 forged aluminum and finished in anodized black, giving the build a durable, cohesive appearance.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed around standard DPMS .308 components and magazine compatibility, so it is best suited to builds planned within that ecosystem rather than mixed-platform setups.
- The receiver set is specified as AR 308 High Profile (.210) Tang, which means matching upper/lower and handguard choices need to be selected with that profile in mind.
- This is an assembled receiver set, so it covers the receiver foundation only; additional components are still required to complete a rifle.
- The lower is marked "Cal Multi," which may matter for buyers who prefer a more specific caliber marking on the receiver.
