Imbertsmithersarms is a Grand Forks, ND-based retailer specializing in firearms, parts, and accessories for hunters, outdoorsmen, and the concealed carry lifestyle. The P80 G150 AR-15 80% Receiver Kit – OD Green is a polymer lower receiver kit requiring machining to complete. It offers a proven design at a price that makes building accessible, and it’s in stock and ready to ship today for $85.

Why This P80 G150 Kit Makes Sense for Your Build

Let’s be real. Not every build needs a $300 billet lower. For a hunting rifle, a plinker, or a dedicated .22LR upper, a well-made polymer receiver like the G150 is a smart choice. I’ve handled more of these than I can count, and what I appreciate about this kit is its lack of pretense. It’s not trying to be something it’s not. It’s a functional, affordable platform that, when finished correctly, provides a reliable core for your firearm. The OD Green finish is a nice touch for those of us who spend time in the field—it’s practical and blends better in a duck blind or a tree stand than basic black. For the price, you’re getting a complete kit with the jig and hardware, which is where the real value is for a builder on a budget.

The Straight Talk: Pros and Cons

What I like about it:

• ✅ Complete Kit for the Price: You get the receiver, jig, and all necessary hardware. No hidden costs.
• ✅ Proven, Simple Design: The G150 pattern is tried and true. It works, and the jig is straightforward to use.
• ✅ OD Green is Practical: It’s not just for looks. For a hunting or outdoor build, the color has real-world utility.
• ✅ Lightweight: Shaves ounces off your total build weight, which matters on a long walk to a stand.
• ✅ Budget-Conscious Foundation: Frees up more of your build budget for a better barrel, optic, or trigger.

What you should know:

• ❌ It’s Polymer: It won’t have the heft or theoretical longevity of aluminum. It’s for standard calibers, not a heavy-use, high-round-count machine gun build. For that, check out our stripped aluminum lowers.
• ❌ Requires Tools & Skill: You need a drill press or router, a vise, and patience. If you’re not comfortable machining, this isn’t the starting point. Consider a complete lower receiver instead.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy the P80 G150

Buy this P80 G150 kit if:

• You’re building a casual plinker, a dedicated .22LR AR, or a lightweight hunting rifle.
• You value a low-cost entry into building and understand the material trade-offs.
• You have access to basic workshop tools (drill press/router) and follow instructions well.
• You want the personalization of an 80% build without a huge upfront investment.

Skip this kit and look at an alternative if:

• You’re building a “go-to-war” rifle or plan on tens of thousands of rounds of 5.56. (Look at our forged or billet aluminum lowers.)
• You have no machining tools or experience and aren’t willing to learn. (A complete lower is your best bet.)
• You demand the absolute highest resale value. Completed polymer 80% lowers have a niche market.

Common Concerns & Questions

“Is a polymer lower strong enough?” For the vast majority of shooters, yes. The design reinforces critical areas like the buffer tube tower and pistol grip. I’d trust one on a hunting rifle or a ranch gun without a second thought. They’re not designed for sustained full-auto fire, but that’s not what 99% of us are doing.

“How hard is it to finish?” With the included jig and a steady hand on a drill press, it’s a manageable afternoon project for someone mechanically inclined. Take your time, follow the instructions, and use sharp bits. Rushing is the enemy.
