These are DPMS-pattern .308 / AR-10 receiver sets — a forged 7075-T6 80% lower receiver paired with a matching upper, in the same finish. The lower ships as an 80% (unfinished) receiver, so you finish it yourself and build out from there; the set doesn’t include a barrel, bolt carrier group, parts kit, or stock.

Because they’re DPMS-style, they work with the wide range of DPMS-pattern .308 barrels, handguards, and components. Sets come in black, a raw finish, and a range of Cerakote colors — use the filters to sort by finish and color.

Choosing an AR-10 / .308 Lower and Upper Set

With a large-frame .308, the first thing to nail down is the receiver pattern — it determines which barrels, handguards, and parts will fit. Here's what matters.

DPMS pattern compatibility (read this first)

These sets are DPMS-pattern (DPMS-style), the most common large-frame .308/AR-10 standard. That means they accept DPMS-style .308 barrels, handguards, and components. They are not Armalite-pattern (the original AR-10) — DPMS and Armalite parts are not interchangeable, so build with DPMS-style components. When in doubt, match every part to "DPMS / .308" rather than "AR-10 / Armalite."

What's in the set

Each set is two pieces: an 80% lower receiver (unfinished) and a matching upper receiver, both forged 7075-T6 aluminum with a broached magwell. You supply the rest of the build — barrel, bolt carrier group, charging handle, lower parts kit, handguard, and stock. The lower is an 80% receiver, so you'll finish it before assembly.

Finish options

Sets come in black, a raw/mill finish, and Cerakote colors — Flat Dark Earth (FDE), OD Green, Tungsten Grey, Burnt Bronze, Blue Titanium, Zombie Green, Pink, and Purple. The lower and upper are finished together, so the color matches across both pieces. Confirm the exact finish on each product page.

Building it out

Pair your set with .308/AR-10 barrels, a DPMS-pattern handguard, and an AR-10 upper build assembly for the internals, plus a lower parts kit to finish the lower. Browse the .308 AR-10 rifle build kits if you'd rather start from a fuller kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these DPMS or Armalite pattern?

DPMS-pattern (DPMS-style), the most common large-frame .308/AR-10 standard. They accept DPMS-style barrels, handguards, and parts. They are not Armalite-pattern, and the two are not interchangeable — source DPMS/.308 components for your build.

What's included in the set?

Two forged 7075-T6 pieces: an 80% (unfinished) lower receiver and a matching upper receiver. It does not include a barrel, bolt carrier group, charging handle, lower parts kit, handguard, or stock — those complete the build.

Are these 80% lowers serialized?

No. An 80% lower is an unfinished receiver, so it isn't serialized — that's the defining feature of an 80% lower. It is not yet a firearm. If you finish it into a working rifle, check current federal and state requirements on marking and serialization for a personally made firearm first.

What parts do I need to finish an AR-10/.308 build?

Starting from the set, you'll add a DPMS-pattern .308 barrel, gas system, bolt carrier group, charging handle, DPMS-style handguard, lower parts kit, and a buffer tube with stock — all in .308/AR-10 (DPMS) spec.

Do you need an FFL to buy an AR-10/.308 80% lower set?

The set's lower is an individual 80% (unfinished) receiver and the upper is not a regulated part. At the federal level, an individual unfinished lower sold on its own — not as a kit with a jig and the parts needed to readily complete it — is generally not treated as a firearm and ships without an FFL transfer, following the 2025 U.S. Supreme Court decision Bondi v. VanDerStok. State laws on unfinished receivers vary, so confirm the current rules where you live and how a specific set ships before ordering. This page is general information, not legal advice.
