Pugio-9 Enhanced Mil-Spec Lower

Our lowers are assembled by SOTAR-trained master armorers in North Carolina using components manufactured exclusively in the USA.

Below are some highlights of features of our Pugio-9EM lower:

• Aero Precision EPC Stripped Lower Receiver
  • The Aero EPC lower has the best combination of features, quality, and value for a dedicated PCC.  It offers unlimited potential for a build.
• Everything Mil-Spec or Better
  • We build our lowers with true Mil-Spec or better components.  It is important to emphasize this because many claim to use Mil-Spec components, but use components made of inferior materials/quality.  We refuse to cut corners to save a buck.
• Buffer: TBD
  • TBD
• Buffer Spring: Mil-Spec Round Wire Buffer Spring (AR-10)
• Grip: Mil-Spec A2 Grip
• Magazine Release Button: Mil-Spec Steel Magazine Release Button
• Receiver Extension: PBA Pistol Buffer Tube
• Trigger: Timney Impact AR PCC Trigger
  • You should always use a PCC-specific trigger in your PCC build; the added stress of the direct blowback design of the pistol caliber AR will break standard hammers (this is why most triggers will come with a “not for PCC” disclaimer).  Timney makes the best PCC-specific trigger on the market.  The Impact AR trigger is their budget-friendly PCC trigger.
• Safety Selector: Mil-Spec GI Safety Selector

Critical finishes and dimensions of individual components are inspected before they we accept them into inventory.  To learn more about our quality control gauging and inspection, visit our Quality Promise page.

Each upper receiver includes the following assembly and QC steps (full schedule of all 82 points of inspection for our builds can be found in our Quality Promise page):

• Receiver extension (buffer tube) threads lubricated with AeroShell.
• Receiver extension castle nut torqued to 40 ft. lbs.
• Receiver extension castle nut properly staked in two locations.
• Full lubrication per our standard procedure.
• Full safety and function check per our standard procedure.
• Live fire test with 3 rounds of Federal 147gr (troubleshoot and correct root cause of any malfunction).

The tables below detail what we put in the lower and what you are paying.
