PLACE HOLDER FOR LRB, MSRP IS ESTIMATED. LRB will be available from FCD dealers only.
We name our products based on the first letters of the product description. PCM is Panel, Cable Management, CSR is Compact, Short sectional Rods, etc.
In total, there are (will be) four variants of FCD marked lowers:
* LRF (Lower Receiver, FCD), SOLGW and FCD collaboration billet lowers with a right side bolt release. LRF is in continuous production, produced and distributed by SOLGW.
* EWS (Evolve Weapons Systems) produced lowers, these were produced in limited quantity in 2022.
* LRA (Lower Receiver, Ambidextrous), FCD roll marked forged lower receivers, produced and distributed by FCD. LRA is a fully ambidextrous, forged lower with an ambidextrous bolt catch
* LRB (Lower Receiver, B variant), FCD roll marked forged lower, produced and distributed by FCD. LRB is a non-ambidextrous, forged lower that shares other features with LRA.
LRB (lower receiver, B variant) is a mostly TDP spec forged lower receiver, similar to the LRA with a single difference, the ability to accept the FCD ambidextrous bolt catch, LRB retains all other features and dimensions of LRA and is otherwise identical to LRA dimensions and tolerances.
Largely based on TDP dimensions with a low shelf, both LRB and LRA share three common features we want for an AR15 lower receiver:
* ABC (Automatic Bolt Catch).
* A fence for an ambidextrous magazine catch (on the left side of the receiver), also another feature on LRF.
* Better access to the take down pin. This feature is already on the LRF (SOLGW and FCD collaboration billet lower receiver).
Over the years, we've become more diversified in product offerings, we've gone outside of our lane a few times, sometimes we make a splash, sometimes, not a ripple. FCD was primarily focused on AR15/M16 platform for which we now make nearly every part, LRB is one of the last missing pieces of the equation. We're not planning on making many of them, as LRB is intended as canvas, or background on which to showcase the components we have developed and made for AR15/M16 since 2015.
As with other FCD products, LRB is made for work, not for show. LRB doesn't look very different from any in spec, forged lower since looks don't have any functional purpose. There is no skeletonized parts, or fashion (lightening) pockets. A 7075 forged lower is already light. a duty/defense rifle doesn't benefit from decorations.
Material: 7075, forged, Type III anodized (black only for now).
Made for FCD by Icon Defense.
Made in USA.
LRB is available through FCD dealers only.
