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]
A disassembled Mauser action showing a partially disassembled receiver and bolt. 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 ...
Rifles styled like the AR-15 come in many sizes and have many options, depending on the manufacturer. The lower receiver, without the receiver extension, rear takedown pin, and buttstock, is shown at bottom. An AR-15–style rifle is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle based on or similar to the Colt AR-15 design.
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]
The AR-10 is slightly larger and heavier than the AR-15. It was originally designed to chamber the military 7.62x51 NATO cartridge (also .308), which has a COAL of 2.800" (71.12mm) 45 Raptor , uses the standard 7.62 NATO case, cut to a length of 1.800" from 2.015", resulting in a straight-wall cartridge, neck is sized to 0.452".
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.
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 ...
In May 2008, Smith & Wesson introduced their first AR-15 style rifle in a new caliber, the model M&P15R, a standard AR platform rifle chambered for the Russian 5.45×39mm cartridge. [11] This was due to the availability cheap surplus Communist Bloc 5.45mm ammunition and AK-series weapons. [11]
