AR-308 Lowers: 80% Lower Receivers for AR-10s (AR-308s)
The AR-308 can be customized in so many different ways that you’ll never get bored with your weapon. You’ll find that there are plenty of reasons why this type of gun should be your next DIY 80 lower project.
Fortunately, at 5D Tactical, we have the AR-10 80 lower supplies you need to build your own AR-308.
AR-308 80% Lowers
An 80% lower receiver is a piece of metal that’s partially shaped like a firearm. It’s not complete, and it lacks the fire control group, trigger guard assembly, pistol grip, and some other parts.
The purpose of a lower receiver is usually to hold together all of the gun’s components while still leaving room for additional work later on. An 80% lower is often easier to transport because it isn’t considered a weapon by law enforcement agencies until it’s been fully completed.
A gun designed around the AR-308 model has two different types of lowers. You can either buy your own 80% lower or purchase a completed one from a gun manufacturer.
Why .308 80% Lowers?
With an AR-10 receiver blank, you can create a complete firearm built around the .308 Winchester cartridge. It can be loaded to deliver and maintain significantly boosted ballistics when compared to the .223 Remington or the nearly analogous 5.56 NATO.
Though the .223 is blazing fast and flat shooting, the .308 can be loaded to deliver similar velocities and over twice the muzzle energy of the smaller cartridge. This makes the .308 (or similar cartridges, such as 7.62x51mm NATO) a better choice for some long-range competition shooters and North American hunters of medium and large game.
AR-15 vs. AR-10 (.308) 80% Lowers
Outwardly, it might appear that both AR-15 and AR-10 (.308) 80% lowers are the same, but they are not. Unfortunately, there are small discrepancies in the dimensions of most AR-15 and AR-10 80 lower receivers, which makes them incompatible.
Obviously, the difference in the size of the bolt carrier groups makes upper parts kits incompatible across these platforms. If you are instead looking for an AR-15 lower, please visit the previous link. We carry both 80 percent forged and billet aluminum AR-15 lowers.
