Description
Free shipping on all orders! Precision machined from 6161-T6 billet aluminum for superior strength (7075-T6 optional, see drop down menu). We offer two finishes: glass bead blasted or mil-spec type III hard anodized. Our lowers offer a reinforced ultra-tough billet design, full compatiblity with mil-spec parts, broached magwell, heavy duty integral tigger guard suitable for winter use, and a flared magwell to aid with faster reloads. These lowers were designed from the ground up to withstand the toughest punishment that can be dished out on them in any situation. As of Apr 15, we have added fire / safe selector markings to both sides of the lower. Because 80% lowers are not considered firearms by the ATF, we can ship to your door. No FFL required.

IE tactical is selling the 80% lower plus the jigs for only five dollars more $154.99.
https://www.dealerease.net/catalog/product.asp?ret_id=1345919&pid=1033416...
Or just the 80% lower for $90.00
https://www.dealerease.net/catalog/product.asp?ret_id=1345919&pid=1033369...
Update: IE Tactical does not have the billet lower in stock at this time. They want $90 for their forged lower (anodized) and $13 to ship to the East Coast.
This becomes a worse deal every day that passes. 4 months ago it was barely a deal. Now lowers are very easy to come by to pay this kind of money for one that you have to drill yourself.
Always nice to hear from you. As we've explained before, if one were to do some reasearch into the work that goes into producing a billet 80% lower, you would find out that A) it's a lot more expensive to produce than a forging and B) it only takes us about 10% longer to complete the lower to 100% so yes the price is about the same as a 100% complete lower.
Earlier this summer, I got my last complete lower for $90.00.
I can purchase a complete billet lower with the same specs for $159.99:
My time is worth far more than $7.00 for shipping and a local $20 FFL fee.
Forget the 80%, I will buy (2)two complete forged lowers for that price.
I dunno guys..This isnt the cheapest around..you may be able to beat this price on a complete lower...BUT add in the FFL fee and most charge shipping...for the FFL fee and shipping..I can have my machine shop finish it for me using my jigs and it has no numbers or manufacturer logo..
MY QUESTION IS...can i purchase one unanodized? I would love to polish one up next time
Yes, you can find it under the "products" section on our website. Here is the direct link: http://www.80percentarms.com/products/bead-blasted-80-billet-ar-15-lower...
Yeah, that's the one with the $157 price tag....
Couldn't one-star this terrible "deal" fast enough. Add another company to the gougers/will-not-ever buy from list.
I always love it when this "deal" comes back to the top. The comments are great.
These look like shit, not to mention a total price gouge.
In reply to 80 percent arms:
No you are WRONG! Your distributor has realized that there is higher demand for your product and capitalized on it. The fact of the matter is your the LITTLE GUY, you are peons, therefore your cost has dramatically risen short term.
Our Family Business has been around for over 75 Years and yes the overall cost of aluminum has gone up with the depreciation of the dollar, moving off the gold standard, and many other reasons; inflation, revenue to cost, tax rates, ect. Keep in mind I am talking from 1930's when our doors opened to now. How long have you been in business?
However coming from someone in the business who buys millions of dollars worth of aluminum yearly and who has to predict when is a good time to buy futures for stock, I know what I am talking about.
THERE IS A SURPLUS OF ALUMINUM!!!!
Bauxite the main ingredient in alum. is everywhere in Australia, Russia, Indonesia, Jamaica, ect. We receive most of our Alum. from Brazil and Russia in the form of extrusion.
Instead of being ignorant, Face the FACTS! however with your continual dilapidated brain your rip in the marble bag I find your lack of knowledge expected.
So therefor continue to price gouge as it is expected because you yourself are being gouged.
Yep. You have been making 80% lowers for 75 years. Do doubt about that!
The AR10 was designed in 1955.
Maybe you should get into the 80% lower business if you have a source for aluminum that is so much cheaper than everybody else ;)
No Thank you, Its only time before demand and supply catch up with the Fad.
-This is my last post here good luck to you all who waste your hard earned dollars with these guys.
I thought This cite was for DEALS Not companies who come in here and post their overpriced products every other day.
**** you're not your
Their prices are whatever they feel like charging. I am not sure if you've noticed that stores all price items differently, even the same can of corn isn't the same price at two different chain stores in the same town. If you do not like price for this advertised item then move along and find something else.
This is only a 6161 at yhat price?? Holy crap what is wrong with these people. I can buy a new one and guess what i am ca resident for less finished. I bought my last one right before Obuttplugs scare for $125 then got rapped and double penitrated by the state fees..
HLF Manufacturing Has Cerro (same place the military gets theirs) Forged 7075 80% lowers for $120 bucks, theses guys are taking advantage.
These are not forged blanks machined down to 80%, these are true billets machined from a billet blank. Big difference in the amount of CNC time required = more cost to the consumer. I would say an 80% made from a forging for $120 is on the high side. You can get a complete 100% lower for $69 now made from a forging. The cheapest true billet 100% out there I habe seen is still just over $200 not including shipping. It seems to me most people complaining about the price here keep comparing apples to oranges. Just do some very simple math and you will see why CNC machined Billet lowers, be it 80% or 100%, are so expensive. If your CNC machine costs a minimum of $100,000 how many do you need to sell to break even in five years? Don't even calculate the other expenses of running a business like electricity, rent, salary of the staff, etc, etc...rather than continually bash this company why don't you take your hard earned money and go into competition with them and produce a cheaper, better product. It won't happen....
They had 100% billets on here for 157 memorial day sale nothing extremely fancy, i do agree people love to whine on here but this price is also high. And if you know where i can get a lower for 69 please fill me in on where i would like to buy one?
Palmetto State Armory just had them up for blems a couple days ago, keep watching and they will come up again. They are finally coming down to their old proces on blems.
If $157 for an 80% billet upper is high then show me somewhere else selling the SAME thing (not a forging) at a better price after shipping.
They sell completes for the same price which why we consider it high since they dont have to pay for the firearm sales license they should be cheaper. However theres not really a competetive market for 80 percents so if for whatever reason you want an unfinished product for the price of a finished i guess its a deal. And palmetto is back to 99 for blems... bastards...
I guess palmetto had a few real blems they let go of for $69 theother day. All the $99 "blems" I have bought from them were perfect as far as I could tell...the deal was posted here two or three days ago. Didn't need one so didn't buy one...
I have not seen a complete billet lower for this price delivered. If you know of one please let me know where I can get it. Again, I believe you are trying to compare apples to oranges. Billet vs forged. I would love to find a billet 100% for $157 shipped. I would buy ten today. Yes, I realize I can get an 80% for under a hundred bucks but they are not a true billet receiver, they are made from forged blanks.
This is the only outfit I am aware of that makes a true billet 80% receiver. If there is another please refer me to their product.
You must not be looking hard. $165 shipped: https://gun.deals/product/working-mans-armory-billet-ar-15-stripped-lower-receiver-165...
There are others around too, that was just the very first one I found.
I ment i bought a finished lower for that price and it was a 7075 t6. I bought my last 80% for $80 like six months ago also 7075.
Right now these people want the same money for a lesser quality receiver streanght as you pay for an 80% of better quality. I for one dont understand that esp. since you can buy a completed lower for cheaper than this none complete.
Yes i know people want one off the books buy why not buy one on the books and just say you sold it or destroyed it like all the liberals are saying their doing with all the guns they are buying up. Shit if the libs can get away with this bull crap we can too just think outside the box. As long as you dont report it stolen there is not a problem. they arent showing proff they are destroying these guns so why would you have to show proff you did just day your a liberal and all is believed.
You realize that all your replies are just making your company look bad, right?
I found all of the replies to be very well articulated and defended the company well. That is if you are speaking to the replies made by the owner of the company. Very little said in these posts have directed my decision to purchase an 80% receiver. I have my reasons to buy one and I suspect others do too. I am glad these are available and at the price offered and if I were a betting man I would bet this company is doing fine financially and will be around for a while. Those of us who see what we are getting when we buy these are not going to be swayed by any of the negative posts here. I understand full well what I am buying, what else is available on the market, the price, what is involved in producing the end result, and the quality of the product. Yes, I can buy a complete billet for $200 or less, or a forged for $89 but that's not what I want. This fills a niche need in the market and does it well.
Way To Much $$$$
Go to PSA they have 100% complete lowers for $119 or if your willing to wait you can get an 80% for $80 bucks from Ares Armor
Peace!
Yes you can buy from ARES as I have, but you will have to wait 6 months to a year after they charge your credit card. Go to their face book account and look at all the people including myself waiting over 6 months and still haven't received the 80% lower.
I could see paying $180 if I could use my Magpul Trigger Guard... But $180 to be told how to guard my trigger? Maybe if I wanted to gang-bang someone, but otherwise that's just far too expensive...
God forbid there is one less Magpul part of your rifle to brag about
from someone who has a mill and multi axis cnc, I can tell you the price of materials has went up, not this much, but has to a point where the bottom line is lower. so with that in mind if you have the capability to finish such an item this is not too bad of a price compared to time , effort, material cost to machine your own from stock.
The cost of aluminum has been steadily going down for the last five years except for the last month where it has gone up.
http://www.infomine.com/investment/metal-prices/aluminum/...
Well considering you know nothing about the cost of aluminum. I would not trust you to even operate a mill let alone I call BS that you even own a CNC.
On the other hand I have been in the aluminum business sense I was born. We manufacture Traffic signs for the United States. We buy aluminum by the kilo Tons and In fact there is actually a surplus of it. That's correct a SURPLUS. There is so much god darn extrusion out there its sick. Its just sitting in stock yards. So don't tell me the cost of materials has gone up. The cost of labor and the Tax rates workmanscomp, OBUMMER CARE, have gone WAY up but not the cost of material.
Go to PSA they have 100% complete lowers for $119 or if your willing to wait you can get an 80% for $80 bucks from Ares Armor
Peace!
ivan, the cost of aluminum has gone up dramatically recently. Go ask anyone who works in this market. Go try and order billet in the size of AR lower. We have to import it from a state 1,000 miles away right now to get a decent price.
No you are WRONG! Your distributor has realized that their is higher demand for your product and capitalized on it. The fact of the matter is your the LITTLE GUY, you are peons, therefore your cost has dramatically risen short term.

So therefor continue to price gouge as it is expected because you yourself are being gouged.
As always, our customers are intelligent enough to make up their own mind as to what is a good deal and what isn't. Not entirely sure why certain people have such a tough time grasping the pricing difference between a high quality billet lower and a forged lower. One requires a lot more work to make, and therefore costs more. Quality has a price.
Way to expensive, People please do NOT pay more than $80 bucks for an 80% you are only promoting more price inflation when you pay and accept double penetration.
These guys have one that is $125 if you must have one now.

I've bought an 80% lower back in November or so. I screwed it up big time. I overdrilled the trigger hole almost 3 times the size. I tried to fill in with epoxy, don't get me wrong, it functions, but it doesn't look pretty. Can I get a 50% discount on my next order. I have the easy jig from you guys, so this time I should get it right. I'm also waiting on an back ordered .308 lower, when is that going to ship?
