FAQ
What kind of blemishes can I expect?
Blemishes are strictly cosmetic and may include minor surface scratches, small tooling marks, slight discoloration in the anodizing, or tiny forging dings. These do not affect the structural integrity, critical dimensions, or function of the lower. No two are exactly alike.
Is this lower ready to build?
No. This is an 80% lower receiver, meaning it is incomplete and requires additional machining (milling/drilling) of the fire control group pocket and other holes to become a functional firearm receiver. You will need tools, jigs, and knowledge to finish it.
Are blemished lowers final sale?
Yes. Due to the deeply discounted nature of blemished products, all sales are final, non-refundable, and non-returnable. Please review product images and descriptions carefully before ordering.

Did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on this purchase (pun intended). Read reviews on 3 different sites, watched YouTube videos, and ultimately went with glockpistolswitch.com because of the price and shipping speed. Not disappointed. Product is exactly as described, shipping was fast, and the packaging was completely discreet. Already eyeing a few more items in their Rifles section.

I’ve been shooting for 9 years and I’m picky about where I buy accessories online. glockpistolswitch.com earned my business. The Blemished 80% Lower Receiver – Anodized Black | Fire/Safe Marked | AR-15 Build Kit arrived in 3 days, packaged well, and fit my Glock 26 without any modification. I put 300 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.
