Howa Type 89

[Ar180shooter]

Howa made AR180's under contract to Armalite. The guns were shipped to America and then they were sold. They had nothing to do with sales.

They made them for Armalite . They were not marketed by Howa

Yes, I know, and I think you missed the point.

We can send a request, but at 4k we'd be lucky to sell 10 units.

We'd also have to have one built to meet scrict Canadian standards for semi-auto versions of full auto's, I highly doubt that the manufacturer would go through so much trouble for such a low unit count.

I guess the market is bigger now?

is everyone missing this!?

And this is the military purchasing price. Double that for the civilian version...at least

If you get these into Canada I would be VERY tempted to come up and film an episode of TacTV in the great white north just to be able to shoot it

Please keep us posted

Thanx

Whoa, Larry Vickers commented in this thread?

Since this thread is back from the dead... forget the 89, I would love a Type 64!

Wow, the man the legend! I didn't know LAV was on CGN!

I’d take one, let’s get these bad boys to Canada.

Hey, if the thread's back at the top then let's show our interest again - even for the price it would command there's a lot of collectors who would be interested in seeing these come to market.

I'd definitely want one (or two) of these, and know 4 others off the top of my head who want them as well.

Type 89 is dead and out of production for awhile. The type 20 is replacing the 89
