Overview
The Sharps Bros AR-15 Livewire Lower Receiver is a stripped lower crafted from 7075-T6 aluminum, providing a balance of strength and weight for your build. This forged receiver features a hardcoat anodized finish that enhances durability while maintaining a sleek black appearance. Designed for multi-caliber use, it is particularly well-suited for builds utilizing a carbine gas system, often paired with .223 Wylde chambers for versatility in ammunition selection.
Sharps Bros AR-15 Livewire Lower Receiver ranked #60 of the 507 lower receivers builders added on GunPartPicker in August 2026. Builders have been adding it to their builds on GunPartPicker since February 2026. All time, it ranks #91 of the 997 lower receivers builders have added. Builds with this lower receiver are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (64%, then 300 Blackout 29%), split between pistol-length (38%) and carbine-length (25%) gas systems, and nearly all AR-15.
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 4 of the 5 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in August 2026, holding around $149.95, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $149.95 at MidwayUSA, which matches the best price we saw in August.

Sharps Bros Livewire lower receiver drops in to any milspec upper. The Livewire design has the lightning bolt cutout on the magwell. Anodize is consistent black. Standard mil-spec dimensions throughout. Unique receiver style.
the cerakote was slightly thicker than i expected but the upper still mated fine
