Mikeal, The Frame Material is Aluminum Alloy. https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/mp-15-sport-ii

7075 Aluminum alloy. It is very strong and rigid but you cannot easily modify or repair it (read weld it) like 6061 alloy. It tends to be a bit more brittle than 6061 but has better wear and chemical resistance.
