Aluminum AR180B lower. *Update DONE!*

I could go with the sticker, but thats near as much fun as making my own up.

Now for the next project, want to make a receiver that uses inexpensive FAL or G3 magazines?
Inexpensive FAL and G3 mags? Is that possible?

Also, I'm way ahead of you. ;)

Last I looked, G3 mags were going 50 for $100 south of the border. When I was moving back to Canada, I threw an aluminum 20-round G3 mag in the dumpster because no one wanted it.

Things changed a lot after the Portuguese released their HK parts stocks. The days of expensive HK components are all gone.
 
If this can be made available to general public, it will be a viable alternative to XCR or any other gas-piston rifles in 5.56. Honestly, if I had Armed's lower, I'd go with AR180B over XCR...

I actually left out a few features due to time constraints. It will get a bolt hold open eventually.
 
Can't a lower simply be investment cast using the plastic lower to form the mould? Just read through and answered my own question.
Photgraphs? Use picture trail gallery or something like that. I would like to see the lower. I don't have a 223 rifle but have been thinking if I do get one it will be a 180b.
