[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR-15 Manufacturing Drawings

I have the drawing for the lower reciever. Is there a source to get all the casting/forging and machining drawings for the AR-15?

im sure you could buy them, but you're going to have to go through a lot of legalities if you want to manufacture them. . . A LOT.

I've come across a 3D file for an A2 upper receiver once...but not the drawing so you don't have tolerances, thread callouts, material, & finishing specs.

Not sure what your plans are, but I too was looking for complete prints at one time with the dream of making my own rifle from scratch. The more I dug into it, the more I learned how much of a royal PITA it would be considering parts are still widely available.

May not be everything that you're asking for, but it's a place to start.
