Historical Significance
The original Model 601 lower receiver was utilized in early AR-15 rifles produced by Colt Manufacturing from 1959 to 1963. These receivers were integral to the first rifles issued to the Air Force and tested by the U.S. Army. With production numbers being notably low, the BRN-601 serves as an exceptional base for a unique “Retro” build.
Ideal for Your Next Build
The Brownells BRN-601 lower receiver is perfect for reproducing the following rifles:
- Model 601 (early AR-15 “Air Force” rifles)

Note: FFL required for purchase.
Brownells Gun Tech™ Note: The BRN-601 lower receiver closely replicates the original design, including the front takedown lug profile and the area surrounding the receiver extension, ensuring authenticity in your build.
