BUBAR10 AR308 Details
The BUBAR10 is a 3D printable LR308-style lower receiver that has taken the firearms world by storm. It is a modified version of the UBAR, but with a twist – it uses simple hardware store metal parts to reinforce the lower.
These reinforcements solve the major design concerns that printed AR lowers face, making the BUBAR-10 a solid option for printable 308 lowers. At the core of the BUBAR-10’s design are simple yet effective reinforcements, including a U-Bolt to clamp the buffer tower down, two humps to spread bending force at the rear of the receiver, and two eye bolts to act as the front takedown lugs on the lower.
These enhancements greatly enhance the strength and durability of the lower, making it able to withstand pushup tests, drops, throws, kicks, and other hard abuse.
If you’re looking for a reliable and more high-powered 3D-printed firearm, the BUBAR-10 is definitely worth considering.

Featuring some amazing trigger slap, the CMC trigger break is excellent but reset isn't really tangible especially given how much AR10s jump around. pic.twitter.com/WRhfaXRobG
Welp the Komodaru is still cool, but the tree-ohhh-ate yeeted it. Pressure wave is pretty damn violent.

BUBAR10 AR308 Tech Specs
The Bubar10 AR308 is a 3D printable lower receiver designed to be used with LR308-style uppers.
However, the AR10 platform lacks proper standardization, with two prevailing specs (LR308 and Armalite spec) that vary from one manufacturer to the next. The rifle’s design is based on the PSA AR-10 uppers, but outside of those, fitting or purchasing additional parts may be required.
The Bubar10 AR308 is designed to use carbine buffer tubes/buffers only, as the U-Bolt reinforcement doesn’t work well with the shorter threaded section on rifle gas tubes. The firearm is compatible with any length upper/gas system as long as a carbine buffer and spring are used.
The Bubar10 AR308 has been tested with standard PMAGs, which seem to be compatible across the board.
