The forged AR-15 80% lower is the first receiver blank to hit the market years ago. It's forged from 7075-T6 aluminum, like the typical retail-bought AR stripped lowers. It's the most affordable AR receiver blank that isn't made of polymer. The raw (non-anodized) version is the cheaper of the two, allowing you to apply a custom coating once fabricated. The black version is coated with a type III hardcoat anodized finish (mil-spec), so it'll match any retail AR-15 parts, upper, or built kit you pair it with. Although not fabricated nor functional, the forged AR 80% lower incorporates a finished, threaded buffer tube housing, front pivot and rear takedown pin holes, a machined magazine catch channel, and trigger guard mounts.
The improved forged lower is known as the billet AR-15 80% lower. Both devices operate in the same way. Aluminum 6061-T6 is CNC-machined to create the billet receiver. Some improvements are included, such as a threaded takedown detent, a bolt catch pin hole, and an integrated trigger guard. Because these threads don't require roll pin punches, assembly is made easier.
