I am looking for the AR 15 lower built without a mag well, singleshot that otherwise is identical to standard lowers? Can anyone direct me to a suplier? Thanks |

You mean one of these things? http://www.dpmsinc.com/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=LR-05V Just have your gun shop send 'em their FFL and order it. http://www.dpmsinc.com/Products/LR-05V.jpg |

So far, only DPMS have them. Or you may check eBay for 80% AR lower. Some of them do not have magazine wells. I sent e-mails to DPMS to ask about the single-shot lowers. They said that the single-shot lower is compatible to all existing AR parts. No special or additional parts are required. At least you save the cost of mag-release botton and spring.However,1) How do I load a round? Insert it through the ejection port? 2) Will the brass be ejected automatically after fire? Or should I pull the charging handle to eject the brass? |
One has nothing to do with the other.

While that's often true when you're comparing a semi like the AR to a single shot rifle like a bolt or break-barrel action. I don't see how just putting on a single shot lower on the same AR upper is going to improve your accuracy. It's not changing any of the systems in the rifle other than removing the magazine feed. Of course I may be wrong here, but I can't find anyway this lower would help accuracy. Mike |
Mike, you're right on the money!

Well, the two choices have been listed, the DPMS w/ no mag well and the 10 shot FAB10. Why do you want a single shot? If you compete, I understand, but for "plinking", loading the rounds in 1 at a time will be a hassel. I'm not familear w/ the California laws on what they allow or not allow...... you could always make a manual action aka "charging handle" unloaded rifle. Bascially, it's not a semi auto.... unless, as I said, Kalifornia law forbids even that...I don't know... |

The FAB 10 varies in price from dealer to dealer with some trying to fuck the buyer sideways. A call to the manufacturer assisted me in locating a dealer in Hisperia, CA where he lists them for $250.00 + tax and DROS. The FAB 10 lower reciever is depicted below populated with a lower parts kit including the pistol grip, minus the magazine release as this is a fixed magazine and an AR15 upper attached. (Parts kit and upper reciever NOT included in the price of course) Kind of an outrageous price considering the standard AR15 varient lower reciever goes from as low as $80.00 and as high as <CENSORED> for those who are into paying way too much for things.
