.308 80% Lower – Billet
When you are building a precision long-range rifle or a heavy-hitting battle rifle, the foundation matters more than any other single component. The .308 80% lower – billet is the starting point for builders who want a rigid, mil-spec compatible platform without the paperwork of a serialized receiver. Machined from a solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum, this lower gives you the stiffness needed to keep groups tight and the flexibility to finish it with basic tooling. Whether you are assembling a DPMS-pattern .308 or a 6.5 Creedmoor, this billet 80% lower is the smart choice for a custom build that stays entirely under your control.
Overview
This .308 80% lower – billet is designed for the AR-10 / LR-308 platform and comes as an unfinished forging. It has no serial number, which means you can complete it at home without an FFL transfer until it is machined into a functional firearm. The billet construction eliminates the porosity and stress points found in cast lowers, giving you a receiver that holds zero and resists flex under heavy recoil. Every pocket and trigger slot is pre-cut to DPMS specs, so you can drop in your preferred LPK and buffer system with minimal fitting. It is a true blank canvas for the serious builder.
Features & Specs
From the reinforced front takedown lug to the oversized trigger guard, this .308 80% lower – billet is built for durability and ease of finishing. The 7075-T6 aluminum is hard-coat anodized inside and out, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that accepts standard AR-10 parts without modification. The integrated rear shelf is already profiled for a standard carbine or rifle buffer tube, and the bolt catch pocket is fully machined to accept any DPMS-spec catch.

Who It’s For
This .308 80% lower – billet is for the home gunsmith who wants a premium receiver without the premium price tag. If you have a drill press, a vise, and a steady hand, you can complete this lower in an afternoon. It is ideal for builders who plan to run a heavy barrel, a suppressor, or a high-reticle scope—the billet stiffness keeps everything aligned. It is also a solid choice for anyone who wants to avoid a paper trail on their .308 build, as long as they comply with all state and local laws. This is not a beginner project if you have never completed an 80% lower, but with basic mechanical aptitude and a good jig, it is absolutely doable.
- Experienced builders seeking a rigid, non-serialized .308 platform
- Hunters and precision shooters building a lightweight .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor
- Anyone who prefers the stiffer feel and tighter tolerances of billet over forged
- Builders who want full control over finish, coating, and final fit
Shipping & FFL
This .308 80% lower – billet ships directly to your doorstep with no FFL transfer required because it is not yet a firearm. You must be 18 or older to purchase, and we will verify your age and shipping address. Please check your local, state, and federal laws before ordering—some states and municipalities restrict or prohibit 80% lowers. Once you complete the receiver by machining the fire control pocket, it becomes a firearm under federal law and must be treated as such. We do not offer returns on finished or modified lowers. If you have questions about legality in your area, contact us before placing your order.
