St. Patricks Day Special AR-180 clone

Awesome! Such a shame the factory barrel is what? A half inch too short for non restricted?

Even worse, a quarter of an inch! Measuring from bolt face to crown. The original barrel was shot out, so it made all the effort of changing the barrel sting a bit less

Ah well that ain’t so bad then getting a fresh barrel. Beautiful work!

Thanks!!!

NICE JOB!!!! This makes me wish I had a garage full of Machine Tools.

As for the disclaimer, don't be surprised if you get some hate. I'm a member of a few Veteran Facebook Groups (use to be more but for the total stupid that you can encounter, had to leave a few for my Blood Pressure). One of the more active members posted some pics showing IRA with AR-180 Rifles etc. Some of the ####eaters lost their minds, I mean mental, no reasoning with them (####eaters, if you "enjoyed" a meal at a British Mess then you know what I mean by that).

Thanks! And you weren’t kidding. Also posted on Facebook and they came out of the woodwork....

Beautiful job as usual, B-Wing! I look forward to seeing it in action out @ Genessee, where I will live vicariously through you. Such a shame to have to put in so much work to replicate what should be readily available to anyone who wants one. Ah well, I understand that it is a love of process for you as much as it is the finished product, so well done again!

Here's an original that I know of:

Thanks Bartok! I wish I could have purchased and used an original AR-180, but alas I was born too late.

P.S. awesome rifle!

I guess the question is whether that is an Armalite WK180C/AR180 clone or a Sterling WK180C/AR180 clone?

Awesome work

"That you know of?" I recognize that counter-top, you aren't fooling anyone. I will give a 1000 rds of pew-pew to you if we can meet up some time to shoot (or just shoot the ####).
