    Default AR Lower Receiver Help

    I've spent alot of time looking over lowers, however now I would like to find a Blank lower, that I can engrave.

    Does anyone know where I can get a blank lower, without trades?

    I have been able to find 1, JC Weaponry. Other then that, I can't find anything, does anyone know a manuf. who creates a blank lower?

    Thanks!

    What do you mean by blank? Every manuf. is going to have their name, serial #, and possibly cailber engraved into the lower.

    True, a completely blank receiver would violate Federal law. Perhaps an "80% receiver" would work, although there's no solid legal basis for the "80%" aspect.

    You will have to buy a 80% receiver. Keep in mind that if you do that, you will still have to mill/drill out areas on that receiver. So the 80% ~$140 plus the jig ~$100 ... your paying quite the premium for your own markings. BTW, you will still have to send the lower out to get coated.

    Blank I mean a lower void of trademarks. As in no deer on a stag, no horse on a colt, etc etc. I understand that the caliber and manuf. Name have to be on it but I would like to engrave my own tradmarks on the left side of the mag well instead of the right. Like I said ice only found 1 "tradeless/logo free" lower and was wondeing if anyone else made them?


    Thanks!

    Edit: The tradeless lower I found was created by mega, and it does not have the "atom" on the left side magwell

    i made one from a forging that was a solid blank of aluminum with exterior shaping complete. milling time was about 4 hours. the blank was $20 from DSA, but that was some years ago. i know a fellow who made one from aluminum plates and bolted it together. he could have welded it together with TIG for a cleaner appearance, but he figured that on a tinker-toy rifle it should be bolted. i know another fellow who made one from steel sheet with a bit of shaping and welding.

    DSA still sells them but I believe the price is around $35 each.

    You might try Sonju Industrial, I'm not at home right now so I can't look at one, but IIRC it just has their name, s/n and caliber on it. You can also get CNC'd billet lowers from them. I think I still have 2 up for sale (billet lowers).
