AR-15 Lower Parts Kits & Receiver Parts

Premium AR-15 Lower Parts Kits & Individual Receiver Parts

Building or repairing an AR-15 lower? Shop the EGW Evolved lower parts kit, stainless steel spring replacement kit and individual lower receiver components.

Important kit information: The EGW Evolved kit does not include the fire control group, safety selector, pistol grip or trigger guard. Review the exact included-parts list before ordering.

Shop American-made AR-15 lower parts kits and lower receiver parts from EGW. Choose the complete Evolved builder's kit or purchase individual bolt catches, magazine catches, takedown pins, pivot pins, springs and detents for a new build, repair or upgrade.

Major EGW Evolved components are CNC-machined from solid steel instead of MIM. Key steel parts receive a corrosion-resistant QPQ finish, while the lower receiver springs are manufactured from stainless spring steel.

These parts are intended for AR-15-pattern lower receivers. They should not be assumed to fit AR-10, LR-308 or AR-9 platforms. Always verify the individual product description before ordering.

AR-15 Lower Parts Kit & Receiver Parts Guide

An AR-15 lower parts kit contains the small components used inside a lower receiver, but the term “complete lower parts kit” does not mean exactly the same thing from every manufacturer. EGW offers a premium builder's kit containing the core components listed below while allowing you to select your own trigger, safety, grip and trigger guard.

Included in the EGW Evolved Lower Parts Kit

  • Bolt catch assembly: Bolt catch, plunger, roll pin and spring
  • Buffer retention: Buffer retainer and buffer retainer spring
  • Magazine catch assembly: Magazine catch, magazine catch button and magazine catch spring
  • Receiver pins: Front pivot pin and rear takedown pin
  • Pin retention: Two takedown/pivot pin detents and two corresponding detent springs

Always use the included-parts list on the individual product page as the final reference.

Parts Supplied Separately

  • Fire control group: Trigger, hammer and disconnector
  • Safety selector: Choose the safety configuration appropriate for your build
  • Pistol grip: Grip, grip screw and washer
  • Trigger guard: Select a separate fixed or folding trigger guard
  • Buffer system: Receiver extension, buffer, recoil spring, end plate and castle nut

Any part not specifically identified in the kit's included-parts list must be purchased separately.

The EGW Evolved Difference

Small lower receiver components perform critical jobs. EGW developed the Evolved line for builders who want precisely manufactured parts instead of treating the lower parts kit as an afterthought.

  • CNC-machined major components: Key parts such as the bolt catch, magazine catch, magazine catch button and receiver pins are machined from solid steel instead of MIM.
  • QPQ-treated steel parts: Applicable components receive a QPQ finish for corrosion resistance, surface hardness and lubricity.
  • Stainless spring steel: Lower receiver springs are manufactured from stainless spring steel to help resist corrosion.
  • Made in the USA: The Evolved lower parts kit supports American manufacturing and EGW's Pennsylvania machining capabilities.
  • Builder-focused configuration: Purchase the core EGW components without paying for a trigger, safety, grip or trigger guard you intend to replace.

AR-15 Lower Parts Kit FAQs

What is an AR-15 lower parts kit?

A lower parts kit, often abbreviated LPK, is a collection of pins, catches, springs, detents and other components used inside an AR-15 lower receiver. Included components vary by manufacturer.

Is the EGW Evolved kit a complete lower parts kit?

It is a builder-focused kit containing the exact core parts listed on its product page. It does not contain every component required to finish an entire lower receiver.

Does the kit include a trigger or hammer?

No. The fire control group, including the trigger, hammer and disconnector, is not included. This allows the builder to select a preferred aftermarket trigger.

Does the kit include a safety, grip or trigger guard?

No. The safety selector, pistol grip, grip hardware and trigger guard must be selected separately.

Will this lower parts kit fit an AR-10 or AR-9?

No. The EGW Evolved kit is designed for AR-15-pattern lower receivers. AR-10, LR-308 and AR-9 platforms require components made for their particular receiver system.

Can I purchase individual lower receiver parts?

Yes. EGW offers individual bolt catches, magazine catches, receiver pins, springs, plungers and detents for targeted repairs, replacements and upgrades.

What is the lower spring replacement kit for?

It provides replacement stainless steel lower receiver springs without requiring you to repurchase the complete set of machined catches, pins and retainers.

Will AR-15 lower receiver parts require fitting?

Receiver and aftermarket-component tolerances can vary. Minor fitment may be required. Inspect all parts for proper movement and engagement, and consult a qualified gunsmith if you are uncertain about installation or function.
