Description
RL556V3 80% AR15 Lower – OD Green
The RL556V3 80% AR15 Lower in OD Green is a precision-machined component designed for builders who demand exacting tolerances and reliable material composition. Manufactured from 7075-T6 aluminum, this 80% lower receiver provides the structural integrity required for duty-grade AR-15 builds while offering the flexibility of a complete DIY platform. The OD Green Cerakote finish is applied using a MIL-SPEC standard process, ensuring consistent coverage and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion. This component is compatible with standard AR-15 mil-spec upper receivers and lower parts kits, making it a straightforward integration into your existing project or a fresh build. The RL556V3 designation reflects the manufacturer’s commitment to repeatable quality across their production runs, with each unit inspected for critical dimensional compliance before packaging.
Overview
The RL556V3 80% AR15 Lower – OD Green is a raw, unfinished lower receiver that requires final machining to complete the fire control pocket and trigger pin holes. This 80% variant allows the builder to legally manufacture a firearm for personal use without serialization or FFL transfer, provided local, state, and federal laws are followed. The receiver is machined from a solid 7075-T6 aluminum billet, then Type III hard anodized and finished with OD Green Cerakote for enhanced durability. The RL556V3 platform is optimized for the AR-15 pattern, accepting all standard components from bolt catch to magazine release. The OD Green color variant is a flat, non-reflective military-grade finish that minimizes visual signature while providing excellent scratch resistance. Each receiver includes the factory pocket and takedown pin lug areas pre-drilled to 80% completion, leaving only the trigger and hammer pin holes, safety selector hole, and fire control cavity to be finished by the builder.
Features & Specs
The RL556V3 80% AR15 Lower – OD Green incorporates several engineering features that distinguish it from economy-grade blanks. The receiver is CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, which offers a tensile strength of 83,000 psi and a yield strength of 73,000 psi, significantly higher than 6061-T6 alternatives. The OD Green Cerakote is applied at a thickness of 0.002 to 0.003 inches, providing a hard, ceramic-based barrier against sweat, solvents, and environmental moisture. The trigger pocket is machined to a depth of 1.250 inches with a width of 0.620 inches, exceeding SAAMI minimum specifications for aftermarket trigger compatibility. The RL556V3 also features a flared magazine well with a 0.125-inch chamfer on each side, facilitating faster reloads with standard or extended magazines. Key dimensional tolerances include a trigger pin hole diameter of 0.154 inches (pre-drilled pilot, not final), a hammer pin hole diameter of 0.154 inches (pre-drilled pilot), and a safety selector hole diameter of 0.250 inches (pre-drilled pilot). The receiver weight is 11.8 ounces before finishing, and the overall length is 9.750 inches, matching mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver dimensions.

Who It’s For
The RL556V3 80% AR15 Lower – OD Green is intended for experienced builders who possess the necessary tooling and machining skills to complete an 80% lower receiver. This product is suitable for hobbyists, gunsmiths, and firearms enthusiasts who wish to construct a firearm for personal use without federal serialization requirements. The OD Green finish is particularly appropriate for builders assembling a rifle intended for hunting, tactical training, or outdoor recreational shooting where low-visibility coloration is preferred. This RL556V3 80% lower is also a practical choice for those who want to build multiple receivers with consistent dimensional quality, as the RL556V3 platform offers repeatable tolerances across production batches. Builders should have access to a drill press or milling machine, appropriate end mills, and a jig designed for 80% AR-15 lowers to complete the fire control pocket and pin holes.
Shipping & FFL
