Sharps Bros Gen 2 Livewire Forged AR-15 Stripped Lower Receiver, Ambi Bolt Release

Sharps Bros. Gen 2 Livewire Forged AR-15 Stripped Lower Receiver

The Sharps Bros. Gen 2 Livewire is a forged AR-15 stripped lower receiver built from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodize. It features an ambidextrous bolt release and is compatible with any standard AR-15 upper assembly across multiple calibers. This is the foundation piece for building a complete AR-15 platform.

Key Features

• Forged 7075-T6 aluminum construction with CNC machining for precision tolerances
• Ambidextrous bolt release for left and right handed shooters
• Multi-caliber compatible with standard AR-15 upper assemblies
• Black anodized finish for corrosion resistance
• Threaded bolt catch pin included
• Weighs 8.70 oz with compact dimensions

Perfect For

• Builders starting an AR-15 build from the ground up
• Shooters wanting a lightweight, forged lower receiver
• Left handed and ambidextrous shooters needing dual controls
• Multi-caliber builds using interchangeable uppers

Design Intent

The Gen 2 Livewire prioritizes durability and precision through forged aluminum construction. Unlike cast lowers, forged receivers offer superior strength and tighter tolerances. The 7075-T6 alloy is aerospace grade, meaning it handles stress better than standard aluminum. CNC machining from a custom forging ensures consistent quality across every unit produced.

Ambidextrous Controls

The ambidextrous bolt release makes this lower accessible to both left and right handed shooters without requiring modifications or additional parts. The bolt catch pin is threaded and included, simplifying assembly. You get full control options without compromise.

Multi-Caliber Compatibility

This lower receiver works with any standard AR-15 upper assembly, which means you can swap between calibers like 5.56 NATO, 300 Blackout, 6.5 Grendel, and others by changing only the upper. The receiver itself remains caliber agnostic, giving you flexibility to build multiple configurations from a single lower.

Follow safe handling and manufacturer instructions. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. A stripped lower receiver is the regulated firearm component. You will need to complete the lower with a lower parts kit and upper assembly to create a functional firearm.
