AR-180 restricted? Price?

[geologist]

Is the AR-180 un-restricted or restricted?

Are they avaiable in Canada? If yes, who carries them and how much are they?

Anyone have one? Are they good shooters? Do they take AR-15 magazines?

Non-restricted.

Available here. Wolverine is the main imported. You should be able to get one from most local shops. They go for around $1000-1150

I don't have one, but I've played with a few. They are not bad shooters. They feel a bit flimsy, but they work alright. They do accept standard AR mags.

Confused - isnt there something called a AR-180 that is different from the AR-180b ?

 

[Mike K]

Whoops..

The AR-180 is prohibited. The AR-180B is non-restricted.

Sort of slipped my mind that you might have been referring to the prohib one.

OK, thank Jebus... thought I was losing it...

The 180b, if that is what you are asking about, isn't a bad gun for the money. It is cheaper than some of the alternatives (PE-90, SL8) but doesnt have quite the same quality.... The 180b is also starting to become a good basis for a project gun, as Armedsask can testify to ;-)

No idea on the AR-180 though...

I'm not a 12.3 so I guess I should have said 180B.

The ergos might look off but they feel great as that kooky tiger says. personally I have the stock adapter but for me form follows function and unless I can find a deal on a M4 socom my 180 is staying happily stock - no pun intended

have one love it ....am up grading it as we speak with a six position stock .....

 

[Jeff/1911]

I am also very interested in one of these (AR180B). I handled one at Milarm the other day and thought it fit me very well. Sure would be fun for spring gophers...Jeff.

It's a great little utility rifle, tons of fun. Extremely light, great for packing around.

I have had one for a few years now, I like mine, except they are a PITA to pit a decent scope on

Not anymore. www.stormwerkz.com

IF a metal lower comes out, I'll buy another in a heartbeat, but I sold my last one pretty fast, decent gun, but I was accustomed to AR's and M96's, just not the same class.

 

[geologist]

But since the AR180B is NOT restricted, you can take this to a gravel pit or toss it behind the seat of your truck when you're going exploring, just like an SKS or any other non-restricted.

Right?

This makes it a LOT more attractive to me than an AR.

 

[Armedsask]

The main selling feature of the AR180B is that it is non-restricted and for a decent price. The fact that it uses AR15 mags and AR15 trigger parts is just a bonus.
