JP Rifles’ ASF-20 Ambidextrous AR-15 Lower Receiver
JP Rifles introduced their ASF-20 Ambidextrous AR-15 Billet Lower Receiver in 2020, and it somehow slipped past the lidless eye of TFB.

HUXWRX FLOW 556k Wins FBI Hostage Rescue Team 5-Year Contract

The KP-15 and by extension the WWSD (What Would Stoner Do) have been an extremely hot topic within the AR-15 building community for the last two years or so with tons of people who both like and dislike the concept, as well as its implementation.

POTD: LWRCI Special Edition Spartan Kopis Rifle
Photo Of The Day with some ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, or ‘come and take them’.
