80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Raw

If you are building your own AR-15 from the ground up, the lower receiver is where it all starts. The 80% lower fire/safe marked – raw is a blank canvas for the serious builder who wants a clean, uncoated starting point. This raw aluminum forging gives you full control over the finishing process while still providing the essential fire and safe markings that keep your build looking factory-correct. Whether you are a first-time builder or a seasoned gunsmith, this is the foundation you have been looking for.

Overview

The 80% lower fire/safe marked – raw is exactly what it sounds like: an unfinished lower receiver that requires you to complete the fire control pocket and trigger pin holes. It comes with the safety selector markings already engraved, saving you the hassle of custom stenciling or laser work. Because it is in the raw state, there is no anodizing or coating to sand through, making machining easier and giving you a perfect surface for your preferred finish. This part is a direct fit for standard AR-15 mil-spec upper receivers and parts kits, so you can build a rifle that meets your exact specifications.

Features & Specs

Manufactured by 80% and categorized as a Parts item, this lower is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum billet. The raw surface means you can bead blast, cerakote, or anodize it to any color or texture you want. The fire/safe markings are laser-etched before shipping, so they remain crisp and legible even after you apply your finish. Here are the standout details:

• Raw 7075-T6 aluminum billet construction for strength and ease of finishing
• Pre-engraved fire and safe markings in a standard mil-spec position
• Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 lower parts kits and buffer tubes

Beyond the basics, the 80% lower fire/safe marked – raw also features a reinforced trigger pocket area to reduce flex during heavy use. The pocket walls are slightly thicker than some budget forgings, giving you more material to work with when you drill and mill. The overall dimensions match standard lower receiver specs, so you can trust that your stock, grip, and trigger group will drop in without issue.

Who It's For

This raw 80% lower fire/safe marked – raw is ideal for the home builder who wants to learn the machining process without worrying about ruining an expensive finished receiver. It is also a great choice for custom shops that prefer to apply their own unique coating or anodizing color. If you are someone who values the hands-on experience of completing a firearm from a nearly finished state, this part gives you that satisfaction without the guesswork of marking your own safety selector positions. It is also a smart option for builders who plan to use a jig and drill press, as the raw aluminum is softer and easier to work than hardened, anodized surfaces.

Shipping & FFL

We ship it directly to your doorstep with no transfer fees or waiting periods.

You are responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the possession and transfer of homemade firearms. Always check your state laws before purchasing. We do not provide legal advice, and you must ensure you are legally allowed to own and manufacture this item in your jurisdiction.
