Bdrx-10 (.308) Matched Billet Upper/Lower Receiver Set

Overview

The F1 Firearms BDRX-308-FADE Bdrx-10 Matched Billet Upper/Lower Receiver Set delivers an uncompromising blend of precision, reliability, and modularity for serious shooters. Engineered around the proven 16 inch .308 Win barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, this advanced AR-10 platform offers the power of the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge in a lightweight, billet-machined package. Every component is optimized to deliver repeatable accuracy, consistent performance, and a flawless shooting experience in tactical, hunting, or competitive applications.

Precision .308 Win Barrel

The centerpiece of the BDRX-308-FADE is its cold hammer forged 16 inch .308 barrel, chambered in .308 Win (7.62x51mm) and matched to tight military-spec tolerances. The 1:11 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights, from lightweight varmint projectiles to heavy match-grade rounds, ensuring superior ballistic performance. Whether engaging targets at moderate distances or reaching out for long-range precision, this barrel maintains exceptional consistency, delivering sub-MOA accuracy when paired with quality ammunition and a well-tuned gas system.

Billet Receiver Construction

At the core of the F1 Firearms AR-10 is the BDRX-10 matched billet upper and lower receiver set. Machined from 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminum, the receivers feature precision indices to eliminate gaps and ensure a rigid platform. The billet machining process allows tighter control over tolerances than traditional forging methods, resulting in enhanced durability and structural integrity. Dedicated feed ramps and reinforced locking lugs improve reliability under harsh conditions, while the unique fade anodized finish adds both corrosion resistance and a distinctive aesthetic appeal.

Enhanced Handguard and Ergonomics

The X7m 15 inch .308 handguard provides a slim, modular mounting surface for optics, lights, and accessories. Constructed from lightweight aluminum with M-LOK slots along the full length, this handguard minimizes weight and maximizes cooling airflow. The low-profile design reduces bulk and improves balance, allowing shooters to maneuver swiftly in dynamic environments. The handguard’s precision machining ensures a consistent fit over the barrel nut, eliminating wiggle and preserving zero for mounted optics.

Premium Fire Control Group

F1 Firearms outfitted this build with a Hiperfire EDT2 (Enhanced Duty Trigger) drop-in fire control kit, known for its crisp, clean break and short reset. The EDT2 heavy gunner variant delivers a solid pull weight optimized for the .308 platform, offering consistent break and minimal creep. Installation is simple and requires no fitting, making this trigger ideal for both experienced builders and newcomers seeking an instant upgrade over mil-spec triggers. Enjoy a predictable, tactile break shot after shot, enhancing accuracy and confidence when engaging targets.

Reliability-Driven Components

To ensure reliability under demanding conditions, the BDRX-308-FADE includes a NiB (Nickel Boron) coated Durabolt optimized for both 7.62x51mm NATO and .308 Win loads. The nickel boron finish provides ultra-low friction and exceptional wear resistance, resulting in smoother cycling and easier maintenance. Complementing the bolt is the Avalanche Mod 2 AR-10 charging handle, featuring a knurled latch for positive engagement and easy manipulation even when wearing gloves. Together, they form a fail-safe extraction and ejection system that keeps the rifle cycling cleanly in extreme temperatures and adverse environments.

Adaptive Stock and Grip Options

The Mission First Tactical Minimalist stock adds a sleek, adjustable platform with a snug fit and lightweight profile. Designed to collapse for transport yet extend for rifle-length usage, this stock balances ergonomics and mobility. Paired with F-1 Skeletonized grip style 2, both wrapped in durable paracord, the setup offers a comfortable purchase and customizable tension. The skeletonized foregrip enhances control under rapid fire or sustained strings, while paracord wrapping provides emergency utility cord that can be deployed when needed.

Optimized Muzzle Device

An F-1 Compensator Dragon Slay-Ar .308 muzzle brake caps off the barrel to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. Precision porting allows gasses to vent strategically, taming recoil impulse, and enabling faster follow-up shots. The compensator’s rugged construction withstands high-pressure firing in .308 caliber rifles and offers reliable performance with both supersonic and subsonic loads. Whether shooting at a competition range or handling defensive scenarios, the muzzle device enhances control and keeps the shooter on target.

Durable Galaxy 2.0 Anodized Finish

The entire receiver set and aluminum components are treated with the Galaxy 2.0 anodized finish, a proprietary multi-stage process that delivers superior hardness, corrosion resistance, and a unique fade pattern. This high-durability coating protects critical surfaces from wear while providing an eye-catching look that stands out at the range. The finish resists chipping and abrasion, maintaining the rifle’s cosmetic integrity even after extensive use.

Applications and Versatility

The BDRX-308-FADE is versatile enough to excel in a wide range of shooting disciplines. Precision shooters will appreciate the tight groupings and stable platform for long-range engagements. Hunters value the .308 caliber’s stopping power and the rifle’s rugged reliability in the field. Tactical and law enforcement operators benefit from the modular design, allowing quick accessory changes to adapt to mission requirements. With its billet receivers, premium components, and top-tier finish, this AR-10 build is ready for any challenge.
