There are 100s of ways to make an AR-15 Lower Receiver. Below we will outline how we do it, why we believe it is the best, and why you should consider these manufacturing methods before you purchase a lower.

We have the blessing of sitting on top of the greatest manufacturing cluster in the world. A portion of our entry into the gun manufacturing market actually came from being in the middle of a supply chain ready, willing, and able to manufacturer weapons as quickly and efficiently as anyone else in the world. As the politicians talk about reviving manufacturing and working towards supporting it, we looked around and started to invest our own resources into tapping into the network of weapons builders that continue to exist and thrive in the Detroit area.

We use forgings as the starting point for our AR-15 Lower Receiver. Eugene Stoner designed the part to be made out of a forging, and who are we to argue? We have run billet before, and understand the concept of letting the machine do the work, but it takes longer. And that costs you more, and we believe in efficiency, and producing product as fairly as possible. So we buy our forgings five miles from our facility, from one of the most reputable forging shops in the country. Our AR-15 lower receivers, 308 lower receivers, AR-15 upper receivers, and 308 upper receivers all start from a forging.

From there we take the pieces and put them into our machining centers. Each center is automated, allowing us to cut down on labor costs, and scale up appropriately.

Our AR-15 Lower Receivers then get broached. The broaching is the most effective way to get the right shape for the magwell. Once again, why would we spend tons of time machining something that a broach can do in a few seconds?

The lower receivers and upper receivers then return for finish machining, and then head another 5 miles away to get coated. Our coater is a premier finisher of uppers and lowers, and run them for everyone in the business.

This simple supply chain, all located within a 15 mile radius of our shop allows us to provide one of the shortest lead-times in the business. We have formed personal relationships with all of our suppliers, having used many of them for years before we manufactured weapons components. The beauty of DGW is our proximity to everyone, cutting down on transportation costs, and lead-times for our AR-15 lower receivers, 308 lower receivers, AR-15 upper receivers, 308 upper receivers. This allows us to do quick custom orders or large production orders, quicker, faster, and more effectively than anyone in the business.
