This is a promotional item and is limited to 2 per order.
The RT15 Poly complete lower features a uniquely lightweight and sturdy design. This lower receiver is made from a rugged and lightweight polymer material, providing a lightweight and reliable base for your custom AR. Compatible with any standard mil-spec components, this lower allows you to drop in your favorite AR-15 upper to create a complete rifle.
Complete Lower Receiver
Collapsable, 6-position stock
Integrated oversized trigger guard
Ultra-lightweight
Rugged polymer trigger group
Extremely tough polymer buffer tube
Great for custom AR-15 builds
Three-year factory warranty
For marksmen with heavy optics and accessories ranging from bipods to suppressors, every ounce of weight savings can count. This is especially true if you ever plan to hike with your rifle to hunt or carry in the wilderness. Tactical shooters who enjoy shorter barrel lengths and smaller optics appreciate the lightweight lower as it allows for quicker handling, and will fatigue your arms and shoulders less when holding the rifle at the ready. Do yourself a favor and start your next build off by saving precious ounces on the lower receiver, as forged or milled lowers need expensive machining and skeletonization to reduce their weight.
Looking for some magazines to pair with your new RT15 Complete Lower? We have a wide variety of AR-15 magazines available here!
This polymer lower does not need to have its castle nut tightened, torqued, or staked, as it is factory torqued to 6-8 lbs with blue Loctite and will not come loose.

“ I've been a firearms' instructor for many years (25+) with more experience in firearms than most.“ Wow, you sound pretty impressive. Should we all bow before Oz ? Lol
I am just stating fact, not beating my chest. You can take it as you wish. I am simply saying that I have a lot of experience with a large variety of firearms including building dozens of them in various platforms. I am just sharing my experience and opinion in hopes that maybe someone new to firearms or maybe have questions on this particular lower can be informed.
So again take it as you wish and make all the childish comments you want....
You ever build a AR .223/5.56 that would do sub 1/4” moa at 100 yards?
Nobody gives a fuck. Eat a bucket of dicks. You couldn't be a bigger douchebag if you tried you fucking loser. Dude was just trying to state his experience with the product and you're being an asshole. You are everything that's wrong with the community.
Neshooter-That guy really got under your skin. It took you 11 years and 45 weeks to post this one and only comment and you came out hot. Damn. How's it feel?
LOL. I promise i have made other comments. Like 2 a year. Not sure why this is my only one that shows up. Nothing more annoying than gun snobs like 1000YdZero just looking to talk shit and beat their own chest while accusing someone merely sharing their experience of doing the same. I feel much better now. Time for a cigar. Best wishes.
Poly Decent for a AR9 build? Bufferless 9 upper + ar 9mm mag adapter?
I don't think messing with the buffer tube on this one is a great idea. Going "bufferless" generally means removing their tube and putting some sort of 1913 rail back there instead. The buffer tube on this thing is some sort of reinforced plastic with loctite instead of staking which might prove to be problematic. I doubt you'd be saving much $ over an AR9 lower once you factor in the cost of the magwell adaptor or whatever other method you use to overcome that part of the build.
Using for an AR9 or a 22 build. Lower pressures will lower my anxiety with an all poly frame/trigger group. My 22 and 9 builds are bufferless.
Assuming you have the bear Creek bufferless 9?
I put this on an AR22 pistol. Put a couple hundred rounds through without issue. Trigger is surprisingly decent. Just added the catch22 bolt release for LRBHO with the Kriss mags. Haven't had a chance to test that out yet. I also just got a pic rail adapter to replace the buffer tube and looking to add a tailhook folding brace to it. Won't install that until I get the brace.
I wouldn't trust this with anything that requires use of the buffer tube. Anything bufferless, I see no issues. You could try it with BCA's bufferless 9mm Upper. That'd be it for me.
If I were doing anything 5.56, 300blk, 6.5 Grendel and so forth, I'd go with the KE Arms/Wraithworks polymer lower that integrates the M16 stock and addresses the failure point of the buffer tube connection.
8 mag changes at my carbine class. Lrbho worked perfectly. No failures or issues. One guy had the conversion bolt in his 5.56 with about 5 issues throughout the class. RTB upper and rattlesnake lower makes for a nice dedicated 22 budget build.
I don't care how cheap something is, especially when it comes to my and my loved ones safety. Sure maybe these are fine for a safe queen or occasional plinker but I have real concern over this statement right here "Rugged polymer trigger group
Extremely tough polymer buffer tube". Just certain parts require metal, not plastic in my opinion. This is just my opinion, you are entitled to yours.
I see I touched a nerve with a few folks. Guess you can't win them all. I still stand by my statement and my opinion. I've been a firearms instructor for many years (25+) with more experience in firearms than most, But it's America and your welcome to do as you wish and waste your money the way you'd like.
Plastic trigger pack? This would really be dangerous in my opinion if used with any high pressure caliber. This MIGHT be ok say for a .22lr upper but no way would I trust anything with so much plastic in it. When they say "lightweight plastic" that should be ones warning enough. At $50 I can see the temptation but again I just don't think this is worth the risk of a failure. If you plan on actually shooting Alot at some point the variations in temperature and the heat and pressure will break down the plastic. The heat and pressure this lower would endure in a long range day over and over will cause cracking and or warping.
Spend a little more and buy an Anderson, BCA, PSA, or any of the other budget offerings made of steel and or aluminum.
This looks like it would be a good build for a AR-22 setup. Can anyone tell me where these are made? I can't find much information on Rattlesnake Tactical other than they share the same mailing and principle address as Ammunition Depot and a slew of other ammo and firearm related websites. Thanks
I just wanna make sure. I can put a .300 blk upper on this right?
Actually 300 blackout ammo can chamber in a 5.56 barrel and will cause a catastrophic failure. Be careful and don't mix ammo and be very careful about what advice you're getting on the internet.
Correct, .300 blk uses the same lowers and mags as 5.56. Also the same BCG.
*they do mag 300 blackout 'optimized' BCG's and mags though. Also, make sure not to confuse your loaded 5.56 (or .223) mags with those for 300 blackout. The round shouldn't chamber but of course won't work either ;)
Forgive my ignorance. Can I put upper recievers with calibers larger than 556 on it? Like a 300 etc? Or do they need AR10 lowers?
Edit:
Never mind! I figured it out
I know you said you figured it out but just to make sure you are aware that 300 Blackout should generally work with any existing BCG, lower, CH, and magazine built for 5.56. You can just swap the upper (or just the barrel if you are feeling froggy) and you should be GTG. Some people mark their loaded mags though so they do not mix up their 5.56 and 300 BO rounds. They do make 300 BO specific mags and BCG's though.
Also some common LARGER calibers would be: .458 SOCOM also works with 5.56 lowers and mags, as well as some 7.62x39 uppers can use the lowers but different mags...both of those use their own bolt carrier group though. 9mm as well with some adapters, etc. Can get confusing and sometimes is brand specific. This might be of some help: https://palmettostatearmory.com/blog/a-guide-to-ar-15-calibers.html... and https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=491407... (pretty good list halfway down the page).
Now, that being said, not sure I'd want to mix larger calibers with a polymer AR-15 lower.....
Side note, I'd buy this FTF at local gun store for this price but for almost $100 after shipping and FFL fee you might as well buy a metal lower unless you really really really want the slight weight savings.
I really appreciate the info and write up. I thank you for your time and kindness. I ended up getting an 556 upper with a 20 inch heavy barrel. I did more research but I will do some more based on your explanation.
I admittedly have never owned a 300BLK firearm but my understanding is they shine in short barrel applications (especially suppressed) where 5.56 falls short, especially under 10-11". barrel length. I think for a 20" barrel you made the best possible choice, suppressed or otherwise, as that is where you get the full velocity of 5.56 so the lighter projectile is not as much of a concern.
i was expecting horrible trigger on cheap poly lower. to my amazement 3-3.5lb! ordered 2, cant go wrong for that price
Agreed, I was pleasantly surprised by the trigger pull... the safety, on the other hand, has a ton of drag and is generally unpleasant.
UPDATE: I replaced the safety with a Tacfire Ambi (with the stock spring and detent), and it felt about the same. I ended up trimming about 3/32" from the spring, and it's much smoother while maintaining secure positive engagement. The same would likely make a major improvement to the stock safety as well.
Taken off the buffer tube and throw on a pic rail adapter.
What's up y'all, I've purchased 3 of these. I have one 16" 556, one 16" 350 Legend, one 16" 9mm. Haven't shot the 9mm yet just put it together this weekend however the other two run great 0-issues and many rounds. I was a little Leary of the polymer but it's a solid build in my opinion. I'm not the firearm's master and I once jumped out of a moving boat, fought an alligator, didn't file my taxes and dated a redhead so I don't know if you want to follow me but if you do I think you'll be ok. Just don't pick the fly poop out of the black pepper. Most of you shoot polymer pistols without question. Here's goes another argument.. if you don't want to buy it keep slidin on to the next lower. I think it's a great deal for the money. Stay frosty out there!
