    Yes, but they are all first cousins.

    If there is an AR15 ban by name, the manufacturers will be wanting an AR180B option, so it is a good plan B for them.

    And yours will ?
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    I really think these things would sell by the thousands if they could keep the price to 800 to 1000 dollars.. I really hope to see the day they make it happen... Could these be produced on our side by one of our manufacturers .. I finally shot one of these a few weeks ago and they are wicked cool.. Really wish there was some new production

    They were selling the AR180B2 at the time here for $1100... with an aluminum lower I would expect that to jump to $1500+
    I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

    And while we CAN have AR-15 and AR-10 variants, they are Restricted.
    So any other semi that is not either Prohib or Rest has a HUGE advantage. Almost a captive audience.
    At that point, they get interested.
    Well, that and the european competition starts at the mid 2000's and goes up from there...

    They are a viable option with the aluminum lower and would sell like hotcakes here, but if the AWB passes, then it would hardly be worth their while.

    If they don't want to build it, perhaps you could buy the patent for cheap?
