Elevate your AR-15 build with the Spikes Tactical Water Boarding Instructor Stripped Lower Receiver (Model STLS033) — a premium, multi-caliber compatible lower crafted from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a durable black hard-anodized coating. Built for builders who demand precision, durability, and clean MIL-SPEC fitment, this stripped lower is the rock-solid foundation for a custom rifle that performs under stress and looks the part.
7075-T6 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: High strength-to-weight alloy used in aerospace and precision firearms components for superior rigidity and long service life.
Black Hard Anodized Finish: Corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant coating that preserves aesthetics and helps protect the receiver in harsh environments.
CNC Machined to Tight Tolerances: Accurate dimensional control for consistent, repeatable fit with MIL-SPEC parts and matched Spikes uppers.
Stripped Lower Configuration: Arrives as a bare lower receiver — receiver only, no fire control group, buttstock, buffer assembly, pistol grip, or magazine included. Ideal for builders who wish to choose each component to suit their needs.
Multi-Caliber Compatibility: Designed to work with commonly available AR-15 bolt/carrier groups and barrels to support a range of calibers when paired with the correct upper and bolt. (Always confirm compatibility between your chosen upper assembly, bolt, and barrel.)
MIL-SPEC Fire Control Pocket & Pin Alignment: Accepts standard mil-spec hammers, triggers, and selector assemblies for straightforward part selection and interchangeability.
Standard Magazine Well: Works with standard AR-15 magazine catch/release components and common STANAG-style magazines.
Durability: 7075-T6 and hard anodizing combine to resist deformation and surface wear under heavy use.
Consistent Fitment: Tight machining tolerances reduce slop between upper and lower — improving build feel and potential repeatable accuracy via stable action alignment.
Lightweight Strength: Offers the robustness required for repeated field use without unnecessary weight.
Custom builders seeking a reliable, high-quality lower as the foundation of a precision or duty-grade AR-15 platform.
Gunsmiths and hobbyists who want a stripped receiver to match with upgraded furniture, triggers, and barrels for a tailored shooting experience.
Anyone putting together a multi-caliber rifle (with appropriate uppers/bolts) who values MIL-SPEC compatibility and premium materials.
Stripped Receiver — Firearm Status: This item is sold as a stripped lower receiver and is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
