The Livewire from Sharps Bros. stands as a testament to both tradition and innovation in the realm of AR15 receivers. While it embraces the classic style that enthusiasts appreciate, its distinct design ensures it is unlike anything else on the market. The receiver features a heavily flared magazine well, which facilitates quicker and more efficient reloads—an essential characteristic for any serious shooter.
Functionality meets versatility with an ambidextrous bolt release, providing ease of use for both right- and left-handed operators. The stepped transition between the trigger guard and mag well not only enhances aesthetics but also offers improved ergonomics, ensuring comfort during prolonged handling.
Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this product. A threaded bolt catch pin and threaded rear takedown pin recess contribute to easy assembly and maintenance while maintaining structural integrity throughout rigorous use. Clean lines define its appearance, offering a sleek profile that complements its robust performance capabilities.
The craftsmanship behind each Livewire lower receiver begins with precision forging using a custom tool under the immense pressure of a 2000-ton press—a process that sets new standards in forged lower receivers by achieving near-final shape before machining starts.
This meticulous approach allows Sharps Bros. to minimize material costs and machine time without compromising on quality or their reputation for master-level craftsmanship—all benefits passed directly onto their customers through cost savings without sacrificing excellence.
