AR180B Removal of iron sights

[Travis Bickle]

If I've learned anything of Sons of Guns, it's that grinders are precision gunsmithing tools.

lolol

Hey man it's your property, do as you wish.

I just wheeled and dealed and scrounged so long to finally end up with one (so expensive) that the thought of hacking it up makes me sick to my stomach lol

Whatever you do, don't ever cut off your iron sites! You might end up with something like this:

Looking good! Are those aluminum lowers in production? Aswell, I wanted to ask those of those who have bolted on a rail for an actual solid base, what kind of accuracy did they get out of the gun? I had the midwest industries rail before and in my opinion it is cr@p it seems to move between shots. If I can get about an inch or less I'd like to make mine into a varmint rig (I know its not a tack driver, but an inch or better is good enough for me!). Otherwise I'll just throw on a red dot and keep it for targets.

Thanks!

EDIT TO ADD: Accuracy @ 100yds!

The issue with accuracy is most likely the mounting wedge being loose. The two spot welds are prone to breaking.

The origonal AR18/180 has a far better TIG welded mount wedge

Thanks, Armedsask. I dont see what the big deal is, Im sure people modify thier weapons all the time, and there's no difference between me and a gunsmith doing it other than not having to pay an arm and a leg to get it done.....

You're not modding it. you're ruining it!
