The Daniel Defense lower receiver is offered here as a complete, DD factory assembled lower, taken off a new DD rifle. DD lowers are known for their quality and great finish.
Meet the pinnacle of AR-15 design, the "Complete Ambidextrous Daniel Defense RIII AR-15 Lower Receiver". This isn't just a lower receiver; it's a work of art, DD is known for both great manufacturing and great finish quality. Born from a complete M4A1 RIII rifle, this factory-assembled lower receiver proudly carries the Daniel Defense legacy forward. Full Ambi lowers have been the realm of brands like Knights Armament, LMT and Colt. The R-III rifle from DD introduces the full ambidextrious lower in whole new way, and it has been extremely popular.
This AR lower is designed to cater to the needs of both right- and left-handed marksmen. Its fully ambidextrous design allows seamless operation of the bolt catch, regardless of your shooting hand preference. With a flared magwell for quick magazine changes and crafted from forged 7075-T6 Aluminum, it's as tough as it gets, highly functional, great looking, and just fits your hands remarkably well.
As you would expect from Daniel Defense, the lower receiver comes coated with Type III Hard Coat Anodizing.. This complete lower receiver also includes Daniel Defense's factory lower parts, including a milspec 6-position forged 7075 aluminum carbine buffer tube and an H1 buffer.
This receiver sports a Daniel Defense standard military grade trigger, a rear receiver QD swivel attachment point, an optional black over molded buttstock made of glass filled polymer with a soft touch exterior, and a DD black glass filled polymer grip with Soft Touch over molding.
Please note: This lower receiver is designed for rifle builds only and cannot be used for pistol builds.
Yes, this product is a complete lower receiver, factory assembled by Daniel Defense.
No, this lower receiver is designed for rifle builds only.
That can be very subjective. At CCC, we know that Knights fans enjoy Knights products, and it is incredible how much some people are willing to pay for the name. There is no doubt that Knights builds outstanding firearms and components. But, this lower compares well to KAC and LMT. This lower does have a standard milspec DD trigger, so there is a slight edge to LMT and KAC with their fine-tuned triggers, but if you wish to add a great trigger, you can do that with a Geissele or LaRue trigger, and we think you will be just as happy with this lower as the other two more mainstream military grade lowers.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
