The lower receiver is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum forgings and given a black hard-coat-anodized finish. The trigger is finished with Teflon-embedded nickel, and the sear engagement surfaces are handpolished. The trigger and hammer are honed, the pins are centerless ground, and the disconnector is stamped from 1070 material and fine blanked and double disc ground to precise size.
