Leapers UTG AR15 Lower Upgrade Kit

The Lower Upgrade Kit from Leapers is a quick and economical way to enhance your AR-15’s lower receiver, as it bundles four of the company’s upgraded components at a reduced cost.

Included is a set of bilateral safety selectors, an enhanced magazine release and both an oversize bolt catch and trigger guard. The kit’s safety selector features two reversible levers of differing lengths, and they can be configured for either 45- or 90-degree throws.

Once installed, the enhanced magazine release allows a box magazine to be dropped by depressing a button on either side of the rifle. Meanwhile, the enlarged bolt catch is much easier to find and actuate than the standard mil-spec part, and the oversized trigger guard is ideal for shooters wearing gloves.

The kit's MSRP is set for $99. For more information, visit leapers.com.
