I was wondering, since the lower is made of polymer, if it would be safe to use the rifle in the cold? My friend wanted to take the rifle coyote hunting but this weekend it's a low of around -20 to -25 degrees this weekend, would it be sake to use it in such cold? I know I am being a bit paranoid about it, but the rifle is pretty much brand new to me (had it for 2 months and took it out 3 times) and I don't want to get it all banged up yet.:D
 
I haven't had any problems yet.

Just don't drop it on a rock or anything. Don't know if that would break it, but not a good idea either way. :D
 
used my glock in -35 so i,m guessing the ar180 would be good
but if its that cold
use with no lube and if you have it graphie lube (spl)?
bbb
 
After using it in cold weather, do you strip the whole rifle down and wipe down the parts to remove any condensation? With my shotgun, I always have a thin layer of gun oil on the outside of the gun, and when I'm done hunting for the weekend or whatever I always take it apart and wipe everything down, so far 2 years and no rust at all..... Would it be a good idea to do this with the 180 as well?

Thanks.

P.S. What price range would I be looking at for a rebarreling on the 180B? I am thinking a heavy bull barrel, maybe around 24" or around there, for varminting and targets. I don't know if I'd get it fluted or a muzzle brake, but would prob. like to get it in stainless. I am thinking of getting it done in a few months but would like to get an idea of how much it would cost first, and I was thinking of taking it to Prairie Gun Works but it looks like they're not doing civilian work anymore?

Probably a fair amount as it would be a complete custom job, I haven't heard of many, if any, guys rebarelling AR180B's. You'd have to ask you gunsmith,
