Bad Attitude Department AR15 Lower Receiver - M16A2 - Colt Grey

We engrave these lowers as close as we can get to the originals.  The originals were roll marked which leaves a different appearance, but we work hard to reproduce the engravings as accurately as possible.  These lowers are machined from modern 7075-T6 forgings and will not always accurately replicate the forging style of the original.

The Colt Grey anodizing on our lowers is true to the original Colt lowers of the mid 1980’s and 90’s as done by CT Lite Metal during that time period and up until a true black color was used.  Our Colt Grey lower receivers are shipped dry, with no oil applied.  This is how they would have shipped from the factory in the 80’s and 90’s.  The color and sheen of used Colt Grey firearms comes from the oil and dirt applied to them during their lifetime of usage.  You can re-create the color and sheen by applying a light oil to the receiver and buffing clean with a lint free cloth.  Multiple applications can be made over time.  Avoid using aerosol oil applicators for the best results. 

Note:  We mill the lug pockets for the upper receiver at the very bottom of the specification.  If your upper is at the top of the specification, you will have a snug fit.  If it is out of spec on the high side, you may have to stone the sides of your upper receiver lugs to fit.  This is a feature, not a bug. 

This is considered by the ATF to be a firearm and must be shipped to an FFL for transfer to you. These cannot ship directly to your residence. Please be aware that because these are not long guns, you must be 21 to take possession of them at your dealer. Returns due to failed transfers will be accepted with a 15% fee and return shipping covered by the customer. Customized lowers cannot be returned for any reason other than manufacturing defect. Any transfer fees charged by the transferring dealer are the responsibility of the purchaser.

We must have a copy of your dealer's FFL prior to shipment. Either you or your FFL may email it to info@badattitudedept.com.
