- Hardcoat anodized
- Mil-Spec lower parts and single-stage trigger
- LMT buffer assembly with gray dry-lubed extension tube, spring and carbine buffer
- Precise tolerances

Product nerd comment: LMT moved from IL to IA, so most current issued lower receivers will have Iowa engravings. Some pics may have Milan, IL, which is no longer the engraving.
Note: Limit of one per customer when available.
Charlie’s also offers the Mk18 Crane logo complete lower receiver from FN. If you are interested in a complete pistol, with the LMT lower, take a look at the Mk18 Mod 0 LMT Custom CQBR Pistol Kit
