    Instead of duplicating the original 180B exactly part for part, how about a complete do-over?
    Perhaps a 180C (Canadian) or 180D (Dominion)

    First of all, would that need an all-new FRT (show stopper!), or could it be done with a "child number"?

    Just complete the rifle. There's not enough used out there for us guys, and they command a huge price tag. If you had the full rifle then everyone here would buy your non restricted ar

    I would like to know how people think a one off rifle design can be made for under 1500?

    Nea makes ar15s for that price. The ar15 small parts can be sourced anywhere. Where do you go for 180b parts?

    I have sterling 180s. I don't think there were a lot sold anywhere that you could get them surplus for parts
    kits to make rifles out of to start with. Then you need 20 inch barrels.

    Same here. I don't have 180b, but I already know few places where I can buy a new lower with improved design. However, few people I know who have 180b have no interest to pay few hundred just to replace a plastic reciever for a metal one.

    AR-180 is prohibited by name. AR-180B made into Canada only because it was somewhat different gun and none of the major parts from AR-180 would work on it. Any more silly quetions on surplus parts?

    PS. There is nothing wrong to build new gun based on 180B, like "modern hunter", but it should stay away from 180 as far as possible.

    Ar180b supposed to be much easier than ar15. 180b can also be improved plus unified in some parts with existing guns to make a totally new gun. Fun project if you ask me. Hell, I even know the guy who can do specs and drawings!

    A consideration for the full rifle; the upper be affixed with a flat top instead of the wedge and spring design.
