The Faxon X-TRA Lite AR15 Receiver Set in OD Green Cerakote is the foundation for lightweight builds that still demand hard-use durability, precise fitment, and clean, professional aesthetics. Built from 7075-T6 forged aluminum and trued in-house by Faxon Firearms in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio, this set takes their proven forged receiver geometry and removes unnecessary mass while tightening tolerances where it matters.
At just 0.96 lbs (15.36 oz) combined with the ejection port and dust cover installed, the X-TRA Lite Receiver Set is 2.08 ounces lighter than their standard forged receiver set. Purposeful skeletonization, Faxon's heritage "X" milling, and an engineered feature set deliver weight savings without giving up the structural integrity you expect from a precision American manufacturer.
The upper receiver features a honed inner bore for smooth bolt carrier operation, a skeletonized Picatinny rail with manually engraved T-marks, and a deleted forward assist for reduced weight and simplified function. The lower receiver includes a Faxon "X" skeletonized magwell to trim additional ounces while maintaining reliable magazine insertion and consistent ergonomics. The OD Green Cerakote finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant coating with a distinct, build-ready look.
Every set is inspected and trued by Faxon technicians for consistent upper-to-lower alignment and confident fitment. Whether you're building a lightweight duty-style carbine, a competition rifle, or a premium custom AR, the X-TRA Lite Receiver Set delivers the right blend of weight reduction, precision, and visual refinement.
