The FMK Firearms AR-1 (brand part no. FMKGAR1EBRT) is a stripped AR-15 lower receiver chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO and manufactured in the USA from a high-impact proprietary composite polymer rather than aluminum, finished in the BB colorway. FMK markets the AR-1 as the strongest composite polymer lower on the market, delivering superior strength and unmatched durability while staying extremely lightweight. It’s a lightweight alternative for builders who want to shed weight without moving to a billet aluminum receiver, with a distinct finish option apart from standard black.
