Overview
Built for shooters assembling a compatible BRN-180-based setup, this lower receiver provides a billet foundation with ambidextrous controls and a rear 1913 rail section for attaching a rifle stock or pistol brace. It includes an ambidextrous magazine release, ambidextrous bolt catch/release lever, dimpled take down and pivot pins, and an installed mil-spec magazine release assembly. The finish is offered in Type III Teflon impregnated hard coat anodized or Cerakote, giving the receiver a clean, purpose-driven appearance. Because it was designed specifically around the Brownells BRN-180 upper, fit with other similar uppers is not guaranteed.
