| Essential Arms began production of AR-15 lower receivers, aluminum CAR stocks, and AR-15 parts in 1982 with the intent to offer America the best parts available at the best price. Essential Arms was the first producer of AR-15 lower receivers in aviation alloy through the investment process. Receivers are anodized mil.spec. 8625 after machining from the finest heat treated T-6 alloy. We produced receivers bearing the Essential Arms Company name until 1994. At that time part of our tooling was purchased by a Minnesota based firm. From 1994 through 2002 Essential Arms did partial machining on lower receivers for other manufacturers. During these years we continued to produce our aluminum CAR stock for retro fit on pre-ban guns and to police departments through various distributors. We are pleased to again be able to offer our services to the shooting public. Offered to you from the armory in the swamp, a part guaranteed to be the finest product available at a price that is affordable. In 2005 we begin producing forged lower receivers that replaced our production of investment cast receivers. |
