// 6 reasons it's built this way
01

The lower the forged rifles are built on

This is the SOTM4MOD1 A5 forged lower from the SOTM4A5 Forged Series rifles, sold complete: the same trigger, controls and A5 recoil system, ready for any Mil-Spec AR-15 upper.

02

What forged buys: strength and universal fit

Forging presses the 7075 aluminum into shape instead of cutting it from a solid block, so the grain of the metal follows the shape of the receiver. That makes a forged lower stronger than a billet one, and tougher against impact and hard use. It is held to Mil-Spec dimensions, so it pairs with any Mil-Spec AR-15 upper.

03

A two-stage trigger as standard

The Schmid Inside Elite two-stage in DLC: 3.5 lb total, 2.0 lb to the wall and 1.5 lb to break. The Geissele G2S® or the LaRue Tactical MBT-2S can be installed instead, for $100.00 more. Second of Ten does not stone, polish or modify sear engagement surfaces.

04

Numbered stock positions

The SOT A5 buffer tube has nine positions, with numeric index marks 1 through 8 laser engraved on it. The B5 Systems Bravo stock has a window over the tube, so you can read the setting at a glance and return to it.

05

A5 recoil system, staked and locked

A5H2 buffer and rifle-length spring in the A5 tube, a Forward Controls Design CN5F extended castle nut staked into the B5 Systems QD end plate, and Vibra-TITE VC-3 on the threads.

06

Controls

Geissele Ambi Posi-Snap selector, Geissele Maritime bolt catch (left side; this version has no ambidextrous bolt release), button magazine release, nitride takedown and pivot pins.
