About this product
The P80 G150 AR-15 80% Receiver Kit in OD Green is a complete forging and tooling package for building a custom AR-15 lower receiver with a durable H-232Q Cerakote finish. This kit includes everything needed to complete the machining process except the drill press or milling machine. It's designed for builders who value corrosion resistance and want to avoid the FFL transfer process.
What is the P80 G150 AR-15 80% Receiver Kit used for?
This kit is used for completing and assembling a fully functional AR-15 lower receiver without requiring an FFL transfer. The included Easy Jig Gen 3 provides precise guidance for milling the fire control group pocket and drilling the trigger pin holes. You'll need access to a drill press or milling machine and basic machining skills to complete the 45-60 minute milling process.
How does the P80 G150 compare to the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black?
The P80 G150 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to the anodized black alternative due to its H-232Q Cerakote finish. While both use forged 7075-T6 aluminum construction, the Cerakote on the G150 provides 500+ hours of salt spray resistance versus approximately 300 hours for standard anodizing. The anodized black version costs approximately $40 less but requires more frequent maintenance in humid environments.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete kit weighs 3.2 pounds including the jig and tooling. The unfinished lower receiver measures 7.5 inches in length, 2.25 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height. The Easy Jig Gen 3 adds another 4.5 inches to the overall width during the milling process.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not for beginners without machining experience or access to proper equipment. You'll need a drill press or milling machine capable of maintaining at least 0.001-inch tolerances. If you prefer pre-finished receivers, consider our .308 80% Lower – Billet which requires less machining but offers similar customization potential.
What's in the box?
The box contains one 80% forged lower receiver, one Easy Jig Gen 3 milling jig, one 5/16-inch end mill, and all necessary drill bits and fixtures. You'll receive exactly 11 components total, including the jig hardware and receiver screws. The end mill is rated for approximately 3-4 receiver completions before needing replacement.
Is the P80 G150 worth it at $0?
At the listed price of $0, this represents exceptional value for experienced builders who already own the necessary machining equipment. The included Easy Jig Gen 3 alone typically retails for $150-$200, making this essentially a free receiver with purchase of the jig system.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 parts?
- Yes, the P80 G150 maintains full Mil-Spec dimensions and accepts all standard AR-15 lower parts kits. The trigger pin holes are spaced at 0.154 inches exactly per military specification. You'll need to purchase a separate lower parts kit from any major manufacturer like Aero Precision or Palmetto State Armory.
- Does it fit AR-15 pistol builds?
- Yes, the receiver is designed for both rifle and pistol configurations. The buffer tube threads are cut to standard 1-3/16"-16 TPI specifications. You'll need to ensure your chosen buffer tube and stock comply with local regulations for pistol builds.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days within the continental United States. Express options are available for 1-2 day delivery at additional cost. All shipments require adult signature confirmation upon delivery.
- Can I return it if I make a machining error?
- No, returns are not accepted for partially completed or damaged receivers due to user error. The manufacturer warranty only covers defects in materials or workmanship, not machining mistakes. We recommend practicing on scrap aluminum first if you're new to milling operations.
- Does this work with aftermarket triggers?
- Yes, it accepts most aftermarket drop-in triggers from brands like Geissele, Timney, and Rise Armament. The fire control group pocket is milled to standard dimensions of 0.860" wide x 1.180" long. Some ultra-compact triggers may require minor fitting.
