AR-15 Parts Manufacturing Industry

AR-15 Parts Manufacturer — BCG, Uppers, Lowers & More

High-volume CNC machining of AR-15 bolt carrier groups, upper receivers, lower receivers, and complete component sets. Mil-spec materials and tolerances.

Overview

AR-15 Parts Manufacturing Machining

TXSwiss is a leading AR-15 parts manufacturer specializing in high-volume CNC production of bolt carrier groups (BCGs), upper receivers, lower receivers, and precision internal components. We produce AR-15 parts for firearms OEMs and private label brands at scale — from 1,000-piece prototype runs to million-unit production programs. Every part is machined from mil-spec materials on Swiss CNC equipment with tolerances to ±0.0001" and 100% material traceability.

AR-15 components demand a manufacturer who understands the platform inside and out. TXSwiss machines BCGs from Carpenter 158 and 9310 steel, carriers from 8620 steel, and receivers from 7075-T6 aluminum — the exact mil-spec materials the AR-15 platform requires. Our Swiss CNC equipment excels at the turned components that make up the BCG, fire control group, and buffer assembly, while our production capacity supports the high volumes that AR-15 market demand requires.

Materials

Materials We Machine for AR-15 Parts Manufacturing

Carpenter 158 Steel (Bolts)

Mil-spec AR-15/M16 bolt steel. Heat treated 26-32 HRC. Shot peened. MPI tested per mil-spec requirements

9310 Steel (Premium Bolts)

Enhanced bolt steel with superior fatigue strength and toughness. Preferred for high-round-count and full-auto applications

8620 Steel (Bolt Carriers)

Mil-spec carrier steel. Case hardened for surface wear resistance with a ductile, shock-absorbing core

7075-T6 Aluminum (Receivers)

Mil-spec forged and billet receiver aluminum. Type III hard coat anodized per MIL-A-8625

4150 CMV Steel (Barrels)

Chrome moly vanadium barrel steel. Chrome-lined or Nitride/QPQ treated for corrosion resistance and barrel life

S7 Tool Steel (Fire Control)

Premium trigger and hammer steel — extreme impact toughness for reliable fire control components

4140 Steel (Gas Blocks, Barrel Extensions)

Standard gas system and barrel extension steel. Heat-treatable to required hardness specifications

17-4 PH Stainless (Adjustable Gas Blocks)

Precipitation-hardened stainless for adjustable gas blocks requiring corrosion resistance and strength
