Sharps Bros Livewire Forged AR-15 Lower Receiver

The Sharps Bros Livewire Forged AR-15 Lower Receiver (Sharps Bros part no. SBLR08-F) is a traditional-style AR-15 lower with a distinctive look all its own, featuring a heavily flared mag well, an ambidextrous bolt release, and a stepped transition between the trigger guard and mag well. As of July 2021, Sharps Bros builds the Livewire from a forging rather than a billet, starting each receiver as a 7075 aluminum block heated to 800 degrees and pressed into near-final shape under 4,100 tons of force. Threaded bolt catch and rear takedown pin recesses round out a receiver built for shooters who want genuine strength alongside a clean, purposeful aesthetic.
