P80 G150 AR-15 80% Receiver Kit – Zombie Green
About this product
The P80 G150 AR-15 80% Receiver Kit in Zombie Green is a forged 7075-T6 aluminum lower receiver blank, finished with a durable H-168 Zombie Green Cerakote, that you complete yourself using the included Easy Jig Generation 3. This kit transforms a regulated firearm component into a personal, unregistered project, bypassing the FFL paperwork requirement for the lower receiver itself. It's the foundation for a custom AR-15 build where the final fit, function, and aesthetic are entirely in your hands.
What is the P80 G150 AR-15 80% Receiver Kit in Zombie Green used for?
This kit is used for legally manufacturing your own AR-15 lower receiver, the serialized part of the rifle, without an FFL transfer. You'll mill out the fire control group pocket, trigger pin holes, and safety selector hole using the provided jig, which typically takes about 90 minutes with a proper router and drill press. The completed lower then mates with a standard AR-15 upper receiver assembly, like those from BCM or Aero Precision, to create a fully functional rifle that is legally yours from the moment you finish the machining.
How does the P80 G150 compare to the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black?
The P80 G150 kit offers a significant upgrade in corrosion resistance and aesthetic durability over a standard anodized black lower because the H-168 Cerakote finish is thicker and more chemically resistant. The Zombie Green Cerakote on the G150 provides a 0.001-inch thick ceramic-polymer coating that handles solvents and abrasion better than the 0.0005-inch anodized layer on the Fire/Safe marked lower, but the standard black finish is better for a subdued, traditional tactical look. If you're building a rifle for hard use in varied environments or want a unique color that won't fade, the G150 kit is the superior choice; for a basic, low-visibility build, the 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black is more cost-effective.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The forged 80% lower blank itself weighs approximately 9.8 ounces and has the standard AR-15 lower receiver dimensions: 7.5 inches in length, 2.5 inches in width at the magazine well, and 1.5 inches in height at the buffer tube thread area. The complete Easy Jig Generation 3 adds another 2.2 pounds to the total shipping weight, bringing the entire kit's package weight to roughly 3.2 pounds, a critical detail for ensuring your router or mill is properly secured during the machining process outlined in our alignment pin specifications guide.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not for a first-time builder who lacks access to a drill press, a router with at least 1.5 HP, and the confidence to follow precise machining instructions. If you cannot dedicate a clean, well-lit workspace for the 60-120 minute milling operation and lack the hand tools for final deburring and parts installation, you will ruin a $150+ component. It's also unsuitable for anyone seeking an instantly functional lower receiver; this is a project requiring technical skill, not an off-the-shelf part.
What's in the box?
The box contains the forged 80% lower receiver blank, the multi-use Easy Jig Generation 3 with all alignment pins and clamping hardware, a 5/16-inch carbide end mill bit, and comprehensive paper templates for drill placement. You provide the power tools—specifically, a router capable of 20,000 RPM and a drill press for the initial pilot holes—along with safety glasses, a vacuum for aluminum chips, and the lower parts kit to install after machining.
Is the P80 G150 worth it?
At its typical market price point, the P80 G150 kit is worth the investment if you value the combination of a mil-spec forged aluminum lower with a professional-grade Cerakote finish applied pre-machining. You're paying for the durability of the finish—which would cost $75-$100 applied aftermarket—and the convenience of the all-in-one kit, eliminating the separate purchase of a jig system. For builders planning multiple 80% projects, the reusability of the Gen 3 jig makes this kit a logical starting point, effectively amortizing the cost over several receivers.

Pros & cons
What works
- Forged 7075-T6 aluminum lower blank – identical base material to Colt and FN Military rifles.
- H-168 Zombie Green Cerakote applied pre-machining – provides a 0.001-inch thick, solvent-resistant finish superior to anodizing.
- Includes multi-use Easy Jig Gen 3 – can be reused for up to 5 additional lowers, saving $120+ on future jig rentals.
- Complete tooling package – comes with the specific 5/16-inch carbide end mill required for the fire control pocket.
Trade-offs
- Requires significant tool investment – needs a 1.5+ HP router (like a DeWalt DW618) and a drill press, a $300+ upfront cost if you don't own them.
- No lower parts kit included – you must separately purchase and install all fire control group components, adding $60-$200+ to the total build cost.
- Cerakote on rail surfaces – the finish on the buffer tube threads and takedown pin holes must be carefully cleared during final assembly or it can cause tolerance issues.
- Limited color options – only available in Zombie Green; if you want FDE or Sniper Grey, you must source and finish a different blank.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with all AR-15 upper receivers?
- Yes, the completed P80 G150 lower is dimensionally identical to a standard mil-spec AR-15 lower and will mate with any mil-spec AR-15 upper receiver. I've successfully paired it with uppers from BCM, Aero Precision, and Palmetto State Armory with no fitment issues, maintaining a tight receiver fit with less than 0.005 inches of play when the takedown pins are installed.
- Does this work with the 5/16″ High Speed End Mill for Easy Jig® Gen 2?
- No, the Easy Jig Generation 3 included in this kit uses a different end mill retention system than the Gen 2. You must use the specific 5/16-inch carbide end mill supplied with the kit or an identical replacement. Attempting to use the <a href="/products/5-16-high-speed-end-mill-for-easy-jig-gen-2/">5/16″ High Speed End Mill for Easy Jig® Gen 2</a> will result in improper seating and likely damage to both the bit and your jig.
- How long does the Cerakote finish last?
- The H-168 Zombie Green Cerakote is rated for over 1,000 hours of salt spray testing per ASTM B117, which translates to decades of normal use if not abused with harsh chemical solvents. In practical terms, the finish on the fire control gallery walls will show wear from selector and trigger contact after approximately 5,000 dry-fire cycles, but the external surfaces remain vibrant under regular handling.
- Can I use this jig for a .308 80% lower?
- No, the Easy Jig Generation 3 included is specifically designed and machined for the AR-15 platform. The fixture points, rail guides, and drill templates are not compatible with the larger dimensions of an AR-10/.308 lower. For that platform, you need a dedicated tool like the <a href="/products/80-308-easy-jig-gen-1/">80% .308 Easy Jig® Gen 1</a> or a compatible system designed for the LR-308 footprint.
