Explore the details and how our kits can elevate your AR-15 building experience.

AR-15 Lower Parts Kits

Every AR-15 is a sum of finely tuned parts, where even the most minor components contribute to overall performance. The AR-15 Lower Parts Kits (LPKs) are a crucial element in assembling or customizing the lower receiver of your rifle or pistol. At Black Rifle Depot, our LPKs come equipped with all the essential parts, including trigger assemblies, safety selectors, pistol grips (with necessary hardware), magazine catch assemblies, bolt catch assemblies, and takedown and pivot pins. These components work together to ensure smooth operation and precise control, making them vital for recreational shooting and tactical applications. Just so you know, AR-15 Lower Parts Kits generally do not include the lower receiver, buffer tube, buffer spring, or stock. These items can be purchased separately to fit your specific build needs. For complete solutions, check out our buffer/receiver extension kits.

AR-15 Lower Build Kits

Building the lower receiver of an AR can be challenging, especially for those new to the process. Black Rifle Depot’s OEM 5.56/.223 Lower Build Kits take the guesswork out of the assembly by providing all the necessary components for a complete lower build. Each kit typically includes bolt catch assemblies, trigger assemblies, buffer retainers, springs, magazine catch assemblies, and comprehensive stock kits. Additionally, some kits come with an A2-style pistol grip and an M4-style collapsible stock, complete with a mil-spec carbine receiver extension and buffer kit, ensuring compatibility with various AR-15 configurations. Whether building your first rifle or upgrading an existing one, our Lower Build Kits offer the convenience and reliability you need to create a customizable firearm tailored to your shooting preferences.
