The lower receiver is the foundational component of an AR-10 rifle, serving as the core part that houses the fire control group, magazine well, and buffer tube attachment point. Unlike the AR-15, which is chambered for smaller calibers like .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, the AR-10 is designed for larger calibers such as .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor. This part is considered the serialized portion of the firearm, making it a crucial element for any build or upgrade.
There are two primary types: stripped and complete.
These components are typically made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance. The most common materials include:
When selecting one, consider the following features to ensure compatibility and performance:
While the AR-10 and AR-15 platforms share a similar appearance and operating principles, their lower receivers are not interchangeable due to differences in size and design. The AR-10 version is larger to accommodate the bigger magazine and more powerful cartridges. Additionally, the pin locations, magazine well dimensions, and buffer tube threads may differ between the two platforms.
Absolutely. Many enthusiasts choose a stripped unit as the starting point for a custom build. This approach allows you to select every component, from the trigger group to the stock, ensuring the rifle meets your specific needs and preferences. Building from a stripped lower also provides the opportunity to upgrade to premium parts and tailor the rifle for hunting, competition, or tactical use.
Upgrading can enhance your rifle’s performance, reliability, and ergonomics. Some of the key benefits include:
These components are compatible with a wide range of accessories and parts, including:
Proper maintenance is essential for reliable operation. Regularly clean the fire control group, magazine well, and buffer tube area to remove carbon buildup and debris. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth function and prevent wear.
