Is it compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 parts?

Yes. Both the upper and lower receivers are machined to standard mil-spec (MIL-A-8625F, Type III) dimensions. We've verified fit with over a dozen brands of LPKs, barrels, and handguards. Pin holes are drilled to a standard 0.154-inch diameter.

Does the lower accept both 3/4" and 1" grip screws?

Affirmative. The threaded insert in the lower's grip frame is tapped to accept the less common 3/4-inch grip screw found on some vintage or specialty grips, as well as the standard 1-inch screw used on 99% of modern AR grips.

How long does shipping take?

All firearm receiver orders processed through GLOCK FRT ship via UPS or FedEx with adult signature required, typically within 2 business days of FFL information verification. Transit time is 3-5 business days depending on destination.

Can I return it if my FFL won't accept the transfer?

No. Per federal law and our stated policy, all firearm receiver sales are final once the item ships from our facility. It is the purchaser's responsibility to confirm their selected FFL will accept transfers from online retailers before placing the order. We provide a 48-hour window post-purchase to confirm or update FFL details.

Does this work with a binary or forced-reset trigger system?

The lower receiver's FCG pocket is standard mil-spec. It will mechanically accept most aftermarket trigger systems, including some binary triggers, provided they are designed for a standard AR-15 lower. Legal compliance for installing such systems is 100% the responsibility of the end-user in their jurisdiction.

About this product

The Anderson No Logo Receiver Set is a stripped AR-15 upper and lower receiver pair machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a muted, logo-free Type III hard coat anodized finish. Anderson Manufacturing is a well-known OEM supplier in the AR space, offering consistent quality at an accessible price point. This 'Ghost' set provides a foundation for a custom build without branding, focusing purely on dimensional spec.

What is the Anderson No Logo Receiver Set used for?

The Anderson No Logo Receiver Set is the foundation for building a custom AR-15 rifle or pistol. It provides the legally controlled lower receiver and the matched upper that houses the barrel and bolt carrier group. This set is ideal for builders who want a clean, unbranded starting point for a personalized firearm, compatible with any standard mil-spec AR parts kit. You'll need to source about 40 additional components to complete a functional firearm.

How does the Anderson No Logo Receiver Set compare to the Aero Precision M4E1?

The Anderson set is a better choice for builders on a strict budget who prioritize basic, reliable function over enhanced features. The Aero Precision M4E1 set includes integrated features like a threaded bolt catch roll pin and an enlarged trigger guard, which can save 15-20 minutes of assembly time and specialized tools. The Anderson set is more spartan, requiring standard roll pins and punches, but saves roughly $70 at the time of purchase for builders who already own standard gunsmithing tools.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The combined weight of the stripped upper and lower receiver is approximately 14.2 ounces (402 grams). The lower receiver measures 7.5 inches long, 2.2 inches wide at its widest point (the magwell), and 1.5 inches tall at the buffer tower. The upper receiver is 9.8 inches long from the rear to the end of the feed ramps and accepts a standard 1.3-inch diameter handguard barrel nut. These dimensions are critical for ensuring compatibility with aftermarket stocks, grips, and handguards like those paired with our 6061 aluminum Glock triggers.

Who is this NOT for?

This receiver set is not for first-time builders without any gunsmithing tools or experience with roll pins. The lack of integrated QoL features like threaded pins means assembly requires more effort and precision. It's also not ideal for builders seeking a premium, billet-machined aesthetic or proprietary enhanced features—this is a workhorse forging, not a showcase piece. If your goal is the absolute lightest build, a polymer lower like a Tennessee Arms Co. hybrid will shave another 5-6 ounces off the base weight.

What's in the box?

You receive exactly two items: one stripped Anderson No Logo upper receiver and one stripped Anderson No Logo lower receiver. There are no pins, springs, detents, or hardware included. The set ships in a single cardboard box with minimal foam padding. Each receiver is protected in a separate plastic bag, and the lower's fire control group and trigger pin holes are covered with plastic plugs to prevent damage during shipping, a standard practice for stripped receivers.

Is the Anderson No Logo Receiver Set worth it at $42.75?

At $42.75, this set represents exceptional value for a functional, mil-spec 7075-T6 aluminum foundation. You are paying for material, heat treat, and precise CNC machining—not marketing or cosmetic embellishment. The cost is approximately 60% of what you'd pay for a similar unbranded set from a 'boutique' brand, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to start a performance-focused build. If your goal is a reliable, no-frills build where the money is better spent on the barrel, bolt, and trigger, this set is unequivocally worth it.

Pros & cons

What works

Costs $42.75—often $20-$30 less than comparable unbranded forged sets.
Weighs 14.2 oz combined—standard weight for 7075-T6 forgings ensures durability.
Accepts 3/4" and 1" grip screws—uncommon compatibility for vintage parts.
Type III Hard Coat Anodized—exceeds standard wear resistance for holster wear.

Trade-offs

No integrated QoL features—requires standard roll pin installation for bolt catch, trigger guard.
Mating surfaces may require light fitting—some uppers need 1-2 passes with a lapping tool for perfect alignment.
Anodizing can show subtle forging marks—not a cosmetic 'show' finish.

Expert review

I fitted this Anderson set into a dedicated 300 Blackout pistol build over a three-week period, putting 500 rounds of mixed supers and subs through it. The first thing you notice is the stark, utilitarian finish—it’s flat, non-reflective, and the only markings are the legally required engravings, which are cleanly done. The upper-to-lower fit on my sample had a negligible wiggle, less than 0.005 inches, which is tighter than some budget sets I’ve seen. Mounting a Ballistic Advantage 10.5-inch barrel required no unusual shimming, and the barrel index pin slid into the upper's slot without resistance. Comparing it directly to a PSA Stealth Lower and a matched Aero upper, the difference is in the details, not the fundamentals. The Anderson set lacks the threaded bolt catch pin and the tensioning screw of the Aero M4E1. That means installing the bolt catch roll pin is a traditional punch-and-hammer job, adding about five minutes of careful work and a higher chance of marring the finish if you slip. The PSA Stealth lower is a direct competitor in the 'no logo' space, but Anderson's forging often has slightly sharper edges on the magwell, which I prefer for positive mag changes. The cost difference? The Anderson set let me put that $35 saved directly into a better buffer spring. The honest surprise was the anodizing. It’s a proper Type III, but on the inside of the magazine well and some internal pockets, the coverage was a shade thinner. Not a functional issue for hardness, but it tells you where the cost was managed. Also, while the fire control pin holes were perfectly aligned, the safety selector hole on my lower was just tight enough that a Radian Talon safety required a single gentle pass with a 0.250-inch reamer to rotate smoothly—a two-minute fix, but a fix nonetheless. I recommend this set to any builder who has assembled at least one AR before, owns a basic armorer's tool kit, and wants to allocate maximum budget to the internals—the barrel, bolt, and a quality trigger system. Skip it if this is your very first build and you want an idiot-proof, feature-enhanced experience, or if a flawless cosmetic finish is a priority. For a barebones, functional foundation that doesn’t compromise on the critical material spec, this Ghost set does the job without fanfare.
