<\/a> Forged lower from AR-15lowereceivers.com[\/caption]\r\n\r\nForged is what the vast majority of AR lowers are. Forging is a fancy way of saying the\u00a0material is basically forced into shape. A chunk of aluminum is basically hammered into the general shape of an AR 15 lower receiver. This is a simple method to explain it, but that is how it works. This hammered chunk of aluminum is then finished with a CNC machine into the lowers you know and love. The Forged receiver we are looking at is from\u00a0AR-15lowereceivers.com<\/a>.

<\/a> Billet 80-percent lower receiver[\/caption]\r\n\r\nBillet lowers are really interesting and some of my personal favorites just do to their uniqueness. These lower receivers are cut from a block of aluminum. This aluminum is known as bar stock. These lowers start life as a chunk of raw aluminum and is then put through a CNC machine. This CNC machine works its technical magic to turn aluminum into an AR 15 lower. The model here is another 80 lower receiver but is billeted, and sold by\u00a080-lower.com<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAs you can see the difference is major. The lines are smooth and sharp. This gives your receiver a unique look. Some billeted receivers are just works of art\u00a0and 100% unique. Others are just different enough to catch the eyes of an experienced AR enthusiast. These lowers are weaker than forged, but the difference is minimal. You aren\u2019t going to break a billeted lower with normal use. Take a sledge\u00a0hammer to both of them and there may be an undetectable difference in the force it takes to break one. Billet lowers are a bit heavier than standard forged lowers, and that is the only important difference.\r\n\r\nPolymer<\/strong>\r\n\r\n![\"polymer](\"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Polymer-Lower-Receiver.jpg\")

These lowers are weaker than forged, but the difference is minimal. You aren\u2019t going to break a billeted lower with normal use.

This CNC machine works its technical magic to turn aluminum into an AR 15 lower. The model here is another 80 lower receiver but is billeted, and sold by\u00a080-lower.com<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAs you can see the difference is major. The lines are smooth and sharp. This gives your receiver a unique look. Some billeted receivers are just works of art\u00a0and 100% unique. Others are just different enough to catch the eyes of an experienced AR enthusiast. These lowers are weaker than forged, but the difference is minimal. You aren\u2019t going to break a billeted lower with normal use. Take a sledge\u00a0hammer to both of them and there may be an undetectable difference in the force it takes to break one. Billet lowers are a bit heavier than standard forged lowers, and that is the only important difference.\r\n\r\nPolymer<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/a> ATI Omni Hybrid lower[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe new kid on the block is polymer lower receivers. Poly lowers could be the future of AR 15 lower receivers, but I feel they have a way to go. Polymer lowers can be cast, or cut from a \u00a0chunk of polymer. The example I have here is the ATI Omni Hybrid<\/a> lower and it starts life\u00a0as a chunk of polymer\u00a0and is then CNC\u2019ed into a receiver. You can even cast poly lowers at home with the right kit.\r\n
