Full description and what we offer
Lead & Steel manufactures AR-15 and AR-10 components, complete rifle systems, and optics from their Columbus, Ohio facility. Rather than just sourcing parts, they design and produce their own products—from barrels and bolt carrier groups to red dot sights—making them a manufacturer, not just a dealer.
The ARC redefines the AR-15 platform with purpose-built components selected for the professional end user. Complete uppers start at $599.99, with configurations available in 5.56x45mm and various barrel lengths including a 13.9" Olive option.
Central Ohio Research Division (established 2025) spun out Lead & Steel's microelectronics department. CORD produces:
As an optics engineering firm, Lead & Steel developed proprietary mounts to provide cowitness and riser options for their own optics.
"Fulfillment delayed beginning 1/12. Come visit us at SHOT Show, booth #41241."
They actively exhibit at major industry shows and maintain a dealer program for distributors. Lead & Steel also offers military/law enforcement pricing and has a knowledge center on their website.
Many items are on clearance or sale. AR-15 barrels are currently discounted, and certain BCGs show significant markdowns. Some popular items (complete uppers, certain BCG finishes) frequently show "out of stock" status, indicating production demand outpaces inventory.
