The AR 180b is a fine rifle.
It's not an AR15.
It was sold in the States originally to the commercial market in the $600 dollar range as a poor mans AR15 option lol
I have one, it shoots very well actually. I am also a huge fan of the piston system over the gas impingement of the AR15. I also prefer the side cocking lever and bare bones, simplistic design over the AR15 by far. I have shot it quite a bit and have yet to have any issues with it at all.
Had it been given a chance to develop like the AR15 with military funding when the US military was considering it, who knows where the system could have gone?
The AR 180b is cheaply made but then so are most of the modern black rifles from the massive number of threads I've read on here. It's basically a cheap utility rifle that found itself non restricted up here in Canada after AR15's were restricted lol
All things considered it's just another non restricted black rifle in Canada for non restricted black rifle in Canada prices.
Hugely inflated simply because AR15's are restricted and people are willing to pay the astronomically inflated price tags for these types of rifles.
