The first project undertaken by the company was an injection molded AR-15 rifle lower receiver. The company then moved to AR-10 style rifle lower receivers, and finally pistol receivers. [14] The name of the company refers to the injection molding process combined with the common designation of unfinished receivers as "80% receivers". [14]

In firearms terminology and law, the firearm frame or receiver is the part of a firearm which integrates other components by providing housing for internal action components such as the hammer, bolt or breechblock, firing pin and extractor, and has threaded interfaces for externally attaching ("receiving ...
The AR Lower V5 is a 3D printed lower receiver for the AR-15 rifle. [1] It was created in March 2013 Defense Distributed printed using the Stratasys Dimension SST 3-D printer [1] [2] using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method. [2] The receiver was able to handle enough stress to fire more than 600 rounds. [1]
From the P-15, it was integrated with the DefDist V5 lower receiver, resulting in the WarFairy Charon V0.1. Further advantage was taken of the nature of FDM polymer printing to make it possible for printers with small work envelopes to produce large items, i.e., the Charon was designed to be printed in sections and then assembled with solvent ...
FMK's first generation polymer lower receiver was the FMK AR1 Patriot. It had reports of breakages at the rear takedown pin. [citation needed] After redesign in 2013 the FMK AR1 Extreme was introduced replacing the Patriot. The redesign included beefing up the area around the rear takedown pin.
The M&P15-22's lower recoil is used as a way to ease new shooters into the sport, allowing them to familiarize themselves with AR-15 controls without the fear of excessive recoil or noise. [3] The disassembly process is very similar to the AR-15 and S&W M&P 15. [4] The lower receiver detaches from the upper with two captured pins. [4]
[67] [68] The SCR lower receiver differs from the standard AR-15 lower receiver in that it uses a Monte Carlo stock instead of a pistol grip, which may allow it to be legally possessed in jurisdictions with assault weapon restrictions in place. It also uses a proprietary bolt carrier due to the angled buffer tube, and a proprietary fire control ...
The AR-15 uses an L-type flip, aperture rear sight and it is adjustable with two settings, 0 to 300 meters and 300 to 400 meters. [16] The front sight is a post adjustable for elevation. The rear sight can be adjusted for windage. The sights can be adjusted with a bullet tip or pointed tool. The AR-15 can also mount a scope on the carrying handle.
