AR-15 Billet 80% Lower Receiver
Our VDD80 Lower Receiver in 80% completed form, to be finished by the end user. The VDD80 is precision CNC-machined from billet 6061 aluminum at our facility. Billet receivers provide a significantly higher level of quality due to the stability of the raw material. Forged lowers are ideally suited to inexpensively producing products in high volume, but the drawback is poor aesthetic consistency, unpredictable fit/finish and material instability - Say it with us: Billet is better.
- T6 Heat-Treated 6061 Billet Aluminum - Raw finish (As machined)
- Flared magwell to improve mag changes
- Billet quality in a simplified form factor
- Proprietary magazine geometry eliminates poor quality broaching
- Fully CNC machined from aerospace material
- 100% USA Made
Our goal is to produce a quality product at an affordable price. Machining marks are perfectly acceptable and agreed to with the purchase of this product.
Because 80% Lowers are not considered firearms by ATF, we can ship them right to your front door with no FFL required. Finished rifles must meet all applicable laws and you must be able to legally own a firearm. Compliance with all federal and local laws is YOUR responsibility.

Should an order for 80% lower(s) be placed for shipment to CA, HI, RI, NY or NJ, the order will be cancelled and the card holder is subject to a 20% cancellation fee.
*Please note - while many of our customers enjoy the look and simplicity of the "as machined" aluminum, this finish is intended to be completed by the end user; therefore, machining marks will be visible.
**Required machining to complete an 80% lower includes: Selector hole, Trigger pin hole, Hammer pin hole, Take-down lug slot, Fire control group pocket, Trigger slot
ALL CANCELLED ORDERS ARE SUBJECT TO 20% CANCELLATION FEE AS OUR POLICY STATES.

80% lowers (raw)
Honestly the over all craftsmanship is decent for the price but the finish is terrible. I've purchased raw unfinished lowers from quite a few companies and these by far are the toughest I've seen. The tooling marks are so prevelant they 100% will require sum sanding and finish work before being painted or whatever your final coating is going to be. Usually companies do a once over with the cnc to smooth out the surface before they're sold but these were definitely manufactured as quickly as possible and it shows in the quality.

VDD Response:
Bummer to hear you are not loving the finishing you need to put into your lowers. You did, however, receive the same 80s as everyone else, Blake. Detailed pictures of the products show all of the tooling marks each lower will feature and the description of the product, on all 80s product page, is as follows -

80 lower
Excellent product, will buy again

Better than expected
I picked up a couple when they had them at $40. I was skeptical, but figured why not. I’m really impressed with what I got. They mate up great with several different uppers I have. A little snug on the rear lug pocket, so it’s perfect for making a wobble free fit with any upper. Took several weeks to ship, but they stated that up front and updated the ship list every couple weeks.

80% lower
Always come w the highest quality in production I've seen, flawless......I have even bought the 80% lower blems, and have a hard time finding the flaw that made them blems...will always buy from here..

Different Good
I Was not totally sure when I ordered these, but the price was right and it is a Michigan business, so I pulled the trigger. What I received is actually better than the pictures. The tool marks are as shown in the photos and with the smooth shiny finish look so different and cool that I think I might just have to clear coat at least one and build a pretty gun. Definitely worth the wait.

1st 80% lower build
Turned out awesome.. my BCA 7.62x29 upper fits perfect on it... i am waiting on my other lowers as we speak.... worth the wait.... :-)

Good quality machining
Over all this lower is good quality and well made. The mag well area is a tad thin and seems a little light duty. I don’t think I would want to use this lower for a 450bushmaster build but for the 223 I built it works well.

YES
Affordable price, lovely machining. What more could you ask for!

Raw 80% lower
Take a while to get here due to shipping and being backlogged. But well worth the wait. Was concerned at first so I sent an email which was responded to almost immediately and cleared up. Now excited for my raw upper to arrive
