Technical Specifications
The Polymer80 RL556V3 is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of AR-15 platform firearms. The receiver features standard magazine well dimensions, buffer tube threads, and fire control group spacing. The polymer material incorporates fiber reinforcement for added strength in critical stress areas. While lighter than aluminum counterparts, this lower maintains the necessary structural integrity for reliable firearm operation.
Building Your Firearm
Completing an 80% lower receiver requires specific tools and knowledge. You’ll need a drill press or milling machine, appropriate jigs, and firearm-specific drill bits and end mills. The process involves drilling the remaining fire control group holes, milling the fire control cavity to final dimensions, and installing the required components. Always follow local, state, and federal regulations regarding firearm manufacturing and consult with experienced gunsmiths if you’re unfamiliar with the process.
Legal Considerations
As an unfinished firearm receiver, the Polymer80 RL556V3 is not considered a firearm under federal law until completed. However, users must comply with all applicable laws regarding homemade firearms. Once machined to completion, the receiver becomes a firearm subject to all relevant regulations. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to understand and follow all local, state, and federal laws governing firearm manufacturing and ownership.
