Welcome to the Lower Receivers collection at Desperate Measures Firearms LLC.

Whether you are building your first AR-15 or upgrading an existing rifle, you get access to good lower receivers from trusted brands, including American Tactical lower receiver models and more.
Why the Lower Receiver Matters
The lower receiver is the heart of your AR-15. It houses the fire control group, magazine well, and buffer system. Legally, the lower receiver is the serialized component that federal law recognizes as the firearm itself. This means you must purchase it through a licensed dealer and complete the required background check. You can trust that every AR-15 lower receiver in our collection meets these legal standards and comes from reputable manufacturers.
Types of Lower Receivers We Offer
You can choose from a range of lower receivers to match your build preferences and budget:
Stripped Lower Receivers: Start your custom build with a stripped lower receiver. This option gives you full control over every internal component, making it ideal for enthusiasts who want to select each part themselves.
Complete Lower Receivers: If you want a ready-to-use solution, select a complete lower receiver. These come fully assembled with the trigger group, buffer tube, and stock, so you can pair them with your upper receiver and head to the range.
American Tactical Lower Receiver: For those who value American engineering, the American Tactical lower receiver stands out for its quality and reliability.
Material and Manufacturing Choices
Most AR-15 lower receivers in our collection use 7075-T6 forged aluminum, the industry standard for strength and durability. This material accounts for approximately 70% of all AR-15 lowers sold in the U.S., reflecting its reputation for reliability. You also find billet and polymer options for those who want unique aesthetics or lightweight builds. Each manufacturing method offers distinct advantages:
Forged Lowers: Known for strength and mil-spec compatibility.
Billet Lowers: Offer custom features and unique designs.
Polymer Lowers: Provide a lightweight, budget-friendly alternative.
Features That Matter to You
Modern shooters demand more from their lower receivers. You find options with ambidextrous controls, flared magwells, and integrated trigger guards. These features improve ergonomics and make your rifle easier to handle, whether you shoot left- or right-handed. Many of our AR-15 lower receivers also support multi-caliber builds, giving you flexibility for future upgrades.
