A "slab side", would be a reciever with no raised area around the mag release. Early Colts for example are slab sides. My 6601 has a fence around the mag release. It's just a cosmetic thing. I have no preference for eather.

The fence reduces the likelihood of the magazine release being accidentally depressed.

"Slab side" = A1 reciever, no forward asist, brass defelctor and as TOBIN stated no "fence"
around mag release. Mike |

Note the lack of Forward assist - "slab sided"
and no raised area around the mag release button. look at a newer lower, they call this raised area a "fence" This is my 1979 era Colt SP-1 AR15 [img]http://wsphotofews.excite.com/037/BW/Uo/tt/hb71883.jpg[/img] |

I thought “slab sided” meant no fence and a “slick” meant no F/A, etc.
We need an AR15.com glossary!! |

Quoted: I thought “slab sided” meant no fence and a “slick” meant no F/A, etc. We need an AR15.com glossary!! Yes, as I understand and use it. 'Slab-side' refers to the type of lower without the fence. 'Slick-side' refers to the type of upper receiver without a forward assist or brass defector. Derek45's rifle, therefore, has a slick-side upper and slab-side lower receivers. |
