“The Right to Bear Arms — Defended” engraved on the right magwell of a 7075-T6 forged 80% lower. It’s a direct Second Amendment statement on a receiver that literally embodies the right it’s referencing. One of the more text-focused engravings in the collection — clean, readable, and to the point.
Who This Is For
Builders who want their AR-15 to make a constitutional statement. A natural fit alongside an American flag or Gadsden design for anyone building a 2A-themed collection. The text engraving reads clearly on the black anodized surface and doesn’t require a graphic to make the point.
Specs and Construction
The lower is forged from 7075-T6 aluminum and machined to mil-spec tolerances. It’s black hard-coat anodized (Type III) for durability, marked Model DT-15, Cal Multi, and Made in U.S.A. Compatible with all standard AR-15 mil-spec components. The engraving sits on the right side of the magazine well — clean, deep, and permanent.
Engraving Details
The design is laser engraved on the right side of the magazine well. Fire/Safe selector markings are not included. Optional left-side engraving adds a personal ID mark in the format DT + your order number (e.g., DT-12345) — for your reference only, no records are kept or reported. Custom text is reproduced exactly as entered; limit 15 characters per line.
Completing Your 80% Lower
This is an 80% lower receiver — the fire control pocket is unmachined and it ships as a non-firearm. To complete it you’ll need a drill press or router jig. Daytona Tactical carries laser engraved 80% lower receivers to get your build done right.
