Blemished – 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black
For the cost-conscious builder who prioritizes function over form, the blemished – 80% lower fire/safe marked – anodized black presents a pragmatic solution. This component delivers the identical mechanical specifications and material composition as our first-quality lowers, with the only distinction being minor cosmetic imperfections incurred during manufacturing or anodizing. These blemishes are strictly surface-level and do not affect structural integrity, thread engagement, or dimensional accuracy. As an un-serialized, un-machined 80% forging, it allows the end user to complete the fire control pocket per their own specifications while retaining the standard Fire/Safe selector markings.
Overview
This blemished 80% lower receiver is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum billet and finished in a MIL-SPEC Type III Class 2 hardcoat anodized black. The Fire/Safe markings are roll-marked into the side of the magazine well, providing a clear, permanent reference point for selector position. As a blemished unit, you may encounter small handling marks, anodizing color variations, or minor tool chatter on non-critical surfaces. These cosmetic variances have zero impact on the receiver’s ability to function as a foundation for your build. The part is sold as a raw forging and requires completion of the trigger pocket, hammer pin holes, and safety selector channel before it can accept standard lower parts kits.
Features & Specs
- Material: 7075-T6 aluminum forging, heat-treated to MIL-A-8625F specification for high tensile strength and corrosion resistance.
- Finish: Type III Class 2 hardcoat anodized black, providing a durable, non-reflective surface that resists wear and solvents.
- Markings: Permanent roll-marked “Fire” and “Safe” indicators on the left side of the receiver. No manufacturer rollmarks or serial numbers are present.
- Dimensional Specs: Machined to mil-spec tolerances for trigger pin holes, hammer pin holes, and buffer tube threads. Pocket material thickness is consistent with standard mil-spec forgings.
- Blemish Criteria: Cosmetic imperfections may include small scratches, anodizing hue shifts, edge burrs (removable with light sanding), or surface pitting. No functional defects are present.
- Weight: Approximately 10.5 ounces (unfinished forging).
Who It’s For
The blemished – 80% lower fire/safe marked – anodized black is specifically intended for the experienced builder who values cost efficiency over display-grade aesthetics. It suits the hobbyist who will further refinish or cerakote the receiver, the shooter who prioritizes range performance over safe-queen appearance, or the bulk builder assembling multiple platforms. This item is also appropriate for those who wish to practice engraving or milling techniques on a lower that will not be a showpiece. It is not recommended for collectors, resellers requiring pristine inventory, or first-time builders who may mistake cosmetic blemishes for structural defects.
