Blemished – 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black

Overview

If you are looking for a solid foundation for your next build and do not mind a minor cosmetic hiccup, this blemished – 80% lower fire/safe marked – anodized black is exactly what you need. We hand-inspect every one of these lowers, and the “blemish” is typically a small mark or slight anodizing variation that does not affect function or fit. The fire/safe markings are crisp and correctly placed, so your lower receiver will look and operate like a standard unit. At this price point, it is a smart way to save on a part that will get scratched up during your build anyway.
