    I doubt they would go for it but it's worth asking. Metal lower receiver would be a real bonus. CanAm seems pretty receptive to suggestions & I think blueprints are available online so it wouldn't have to start from scratch. I guess we can hope.

    Well I dunno...

    I had an Armalite 180b and it was craptastic... I can't imagine how much worse it could be if made by Norinco

    I'm pretty sure this has come up before...

    Since it's NR here in Canada, and Norinco already makes a Canadian-legal AR (and can't sell sh!t in the biggest market in the world, the US) they might just do it. If they can keep the price near their AR price, I don't think they'd have any trouble at ALL selling AR180B-type rifles in Canada. Maybe call it an M-180?

    Not very likely, they won't be able to sell enough to recoup their setup cost.

    Depends. If it was machine from aluminum it would be far more cost effective than making it stamped steel which is extremely expensive.

    However this topic has been beaten to death before.

    Would likely be called a prohib unless virtually identical to the Armalite AR180b, the original AR180/AR18 is a named prohib... The AR180b going unrestricted in the first place is pretty amazing given that the uppers interchange.

    Perhaps best to leave sleeping dogs lie on this one and pursue a less controversial project, an original semi AR10 gets my vote.

    And for the last time the non restricted AR10's made for KLM by Artillerie Inrich-Ingen around 1959 do not exist........anymore. I have done extensive research on it and the FRT was appears to have been changed to restricted after the three that were in the country left the country to a collector.
