FAQ
What tools are required to complete this 80% lower?
Completion requires a drill press or milling machine, appropriate end mills and drill bits (typically a 3/8″ end mill for the fire control pocket and specific drill bits for the selector and trigger pin holes), a vise, and basic gunsmithing tools. A dedicated 80% lower jig is highly recommended for precise alignment.
Is this lower compatible with a standard AR-15 parts kit?
No. This is a .308 platform receiver and requires a .308/AR-10/LR-308 specific parts kit, including a trigger group, hammer, takedown pins, bolt catch, and magazine release. Most internal dimensions are larger than an AR-15.
Why is the bolt catch hole threaded?
The threaded hole (6-40) allows for the installation of a screw-in bolt catch roll pin. This provides a more secure installation that is less likely to walk out under the heavy recoil of the .308 platform compared to a traditional smooth roll pin.

I’ve been shooting for 7 years and I’m picky about where I buy accessories online. glockpistolswitch.com earned my business. The 80% Lower Receiver Billet .308 / AR-10 – Anodized Black 6061-T6 Aluminum arrived in 3 days, packaged well, and fit my Glock 17 without any modification. I put 273 rounds through it that same weekend and had zero issues. The finish quality is better than I expected at this price point. I’ll be back for more.
