Build your KP-15 the way you want!

For all the parts you’ll need to complete your build, check out the KP-15 Lower Parts Kit!

The KP-15 from KE Arms is the best polymer AR-15 lower, period.  This innovative lower receiver is a monolithic design, with the receiver, trigger guard, pistol grip, and buttstock integrated into a single injection-molded part.  While the stock isn’t adjustable, this one-piece design eliminates all of the weak points inherent in the standard AR-15 lowers of today.  Plus, many areas are reinforced, making it orders of magnitude more durable than other polymer lowers, while remaining lightweight.  And while it’s light, it’s not cheap.  The 30% glass filled nylon body can stand up to some serious punishment.

This stripped lower will take virtually any components that you like best in an AR-15 lower.  There’s a list of compatible triggers below, as well as a few models to steer clear of for this lower.  We recommend sticking with a mil-spec trigger for a budget build, or springing for KE Arms’ SLT-1 4.5 pound match trigger for the best performance.  Also, use a standard carbine buffer and spring, or the JP Enterprises Silent Captured Spring System.  Flat wire springs and other captured systems can damage the inside of the buffer tube area.

Features

  • Compatibility with most common AR15 uppers and lower parts kits
  • Flared magwell to make reloads under stress easier to perform.
  • A1 Length 13” Length of Pull (LOP) Buttstock to fit a wide range of shooters
  • M-LOK Slots at rear of stock for sling attachment points, or to simply run a strap through it for simple sling attachment
  • Holes at the front of the stock for QD socket inserts for more sling attachment options
  • Improved grip for comfortable use
  • “Winter” Trigger Guard

Stripped KP-15 Lower Includes:

  • KP-15 Take Down/Pivot Pins
  • KP-15 Selector Detent
  • A1-Style Solid Buttplate
  • 5/64″ Roll Pin to retain Buffer Detent

Technical Information

  • The KP-15 receiver uses a Carbine buffer and spring. Do NOT use anything other than standard buffers and round springs or the JP SCSS in the KP-15.
  • The Take Down and Pivot Pins have the detents built into them; eliminating the spring and detent holes in the lower increases durability.
  • The buffer detent (should you choose to use it) is held in place with a 5/64” Roll Pin
  • The KP-15 is compatible with all Mil-Spec Fire Control Groups
  • The KP-15 is compatible with cassette style match triggers including the KE Arms DMR and SLT units. The retention system of these triggers with D-Clips in the bushings to retain the fire control pins makes them better suited for use in the KP-15 than other designs that require captured pins.*
  • The hammer pin area is wider for durability; Standard AR15 hammer pins can still be used but we offer a longer hammer pin for customers preferring a flush pin for aesthetic reasons.
  • Safety selector spring and detent load from the top and then the selector is slid over them.  Standard selectors can work but removing them can be particularly difficult.   KE Arms recommends the use of the optimized mil-spec selector or optimized ambi selector to make removal easier.  Follow the assembly guide for further instructions.
  • The KP-15 is compatible with standard AR15 uppers in calibers including .223/5.56mm NATO, .300 Blackout, 7.62x39mm, 6.5mm Grendel, 6.8mm SPC, .350 Legend; make sure you use the appropriate weight carbine buffer for your rifle to eject casings at 3:00-4:00.
  • The KP-15 is compatible with 9mm blowback systems with a 5.4oz carbine buffer minimum.  Use heavier buffers as long as your gun can cycle reliably.  Failure to use this minimum buffer weight can damage the lower.
  • Big Bores: .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf, .50 BMG:  KE Arms will never test these calibers enough to guarantee function and durability over time; use at your own risk.

Cerakote

If you intend to have your KP-15 Cerakoted, KE Arms recommends you use We Plead the 2nd.  They are experienced in coating polymer receivers, and have KE Arms’ authorization. The bake should be done at low temperatures (<190 Degrees F), and with an upper in place to prevent warping.

SLT/Ambi KP-15 Instruction Sheet

Warranty

The KP-15 has a lifetime warranty for normal use.
Sling Attachment points wearing out is not grounds for a receiver replacement.
If the receiver breaks through misuse or neglect, KE Arms will replace it ONCE for $65.00.

Structural modifications including stock shortening, removal of material, and dyeing the receiver void the warranty.

If you intend to register your KP-15 as an NFA weapon, test it thoroughly before doing so in a Title 1 Configuration.

Once you Form 1 or Form 2 your lower, you are legally the manufacturer and KE Arms cannot service or support it as easily.  Should your receiver require warranty replacement, KE Arms can only replace it with a Title I receiver, and they are not responsible for tax stamps or NFA fees.

Trigger Compatibility

The front lower portion of the KP-15 fire control area has a radius. This is a fact of plastic design for mold release and strength. Some cassette style triggers with large housings that fill the entire fire control group may not fit. Do not force a cassette trigger into place; you may damage your receiver doing so.

Known Compatible Match Triggers:
KE Arms DMR
KE Arms SLT-1
KE Arms SLT-2

Fits but needs new hardware:
Rise Armament RA-535 Fits into the fire control pocket, but will need a longer captured hammer pin.

Known Incompatible Triggers
Triggertech- Does not fit in fire control pocket; holes do not line up due to housing size.
CMC- Does not fit in fire control pocket; holes do not line up due to housing size.

I am unable to review this item as I do not have my hands on It yet, UPS took their time delivering it to the FFL Dealer and it arrived at the beginning of a pretty serious snowstorm. Therefore, I have not made it the FFL dealer to sign for it and receive the item due to weather conditions beyond my control.
