Firearm Tutorial: Differences in AR 15 Lower Receiver Cuts

I just wanted to make this video and share some knowledge and information with anyone who may not know about these differences. All of these receivers are semi-automatic only and are legal. The choices of how these are cut and made are decided by the manufacturer.

Thanks for the difference overview as I always assumed all AR-15 lowers were “MIL-SPEC” and milled the same.

[@thetexasgunvault]

Yeah, they are all different and different companies do it differently.

[@SamuelMorris1]

Love the short tutorial videos, this the best one I’ve seen that explains the different cuts. I had an LWRC lower transferred to a local gun shop the other day and when I picked it up the guy was like ‘huh these LWRC lowers would be really easy to make fully auto.” I didn’t know what he meant at the time, and was afraid to ask, but now I do. 😂

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it!

The "Colt Cut" predates the 1990s. It even predates the 1986 Hughes Amendment to the 1986 FOPA, whuch shows *why* Colt actually did it.
Colt didn't want people filing a Form 1 on an SP1 - they wanted them to buy a factory Colt machinegun, with the markup.

[@joemorganeatmyshortschannel]

The colt cut still offends my sensibilities

[@thetexasgunvault]

I totally understand why.

[@santiagocantuborjas9060]

That's something I never knew until now.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I am glad I was able to help!

[@stickfighter1038]

Thank you for sharing. From a collectable standpoint the M16 receiver cut would be the most desirable especially for retro build.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I completely agree

[@Rangergeo85]

Great video! Now I can just show this video to people who are clueless.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I am glad it helps

[@shot9702]

The "Colt cut" is still better than the old sear block method. It also required machining of the bolt carrier for the gun to run.

[@thetexasgunvault]

You are right. The old search blocks were horrible.

[@DanielADickey]

Great video, thanks!

[@thetexasgunvault]

You are very welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@andrewsteele7663]

Goodmorning, Jason, great video, Cheers

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thank you so much!

[@johnramoz6125]

Nice!!!!

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thanks!

[@natemel12]

There is a fourth with just a low shelf and not machine gun cut that accepts a DIAS

[@thetexasgunvault]

Yes, you are correct.

[@tonyc223]

Full auto is just a waste of ammo and barrels . Having Geissele triggers makes the AR 15 complete.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I agree. FA is fun, but not useful is many situations but yet the regulate it like it is a weapon of mass destruction.

[@mrshort2379]

unfortunately mine is colt cut, but haven't run into any drop in trigger problems "yet". however you should explain the easiest way to remove that p.o.s. Colt cut wall

[@thetexasgunvault]

If it is not in the way, there is nothing you should really do. It is just stupid that they put it in there.

[@zay2x_Tv]

My AR lower is a combination between the pri m16 and the bushmaster and mine also says auto next to my safe selector can anybody explain why its like that??

[@thetexasgunvault]

They can engrave anything they want on the side of the lower to give it the right look. They just can't drill the 3rd hole.

[@julikocaribe1982]

THANKS for your INFO.

[@thetexasgunvault]

You are very welcome

[@coastalpoodlerescue]

😊😊👍🏼👍🏼

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thank you!

[@edisonacacio3912]

How much of lower reciever of AR15

[@thetexasgunvault]

I am not sure I understand your question.

[@ecobasetech4558]

As you yourself have pointed out in other videos, if you are a responsible and legal gun owner, you are already "complying" to these unconstitutional laws so it shouldn't matter if your lower receiver has the material removed or not. Except if it prevents some after market triggers from being installed. Once a "law abiding" gun owner proceeds with the modification to convert the AR-15 to fully automatic, they are no longer "law abiding", at least in the eyes of the ATF and LE. Once that happens, our arguments that these laws only hurt "law abiding" gun owners start to go out the window. We all need to remember that our actions, regardless of our own beliefs or views of our rights under the 2nd Amendment have consequences and the Antiguan side that are clearly working every possible angle to disarm the American population will use that against us.

[@thetexasgunvault]

Sure, they are all complying. Just some like to walk closer to the line than others.

[@austindecker7643]

Unconstitutional laws are unjust laws

[@DevonReclaimed]

Citizen is a euphemism for Slave. The right to own firearms is an inherent right of all sentient beings and preexists mans fictional scriptures

[@Youreabootlicker]

theres no such thing as legal or illegal that shit needs to stop

[@thetexasgunvault]

I get that.
