Armalite AR180B Frequently Asked Questions, revised Dec. 26/07

[fear 666]

They come up on the EE from time to time. You'll be paying a premium for one though. Chances are it's had some mods done to it. New butt stock, MI forearm, etc.

This might sound dumb, but what does the EE mean.

The need for an Non-Restricted AR180 is diminishing. Unless it is sub-$1000, you might as well go XCR, ACR, etc.
It's has been so long, waiting, new rifles have been developed and released..........

The xcr, rfb, acr, etc are all over 2000$.

If the come back with something good between 1000 and 2000$ it would sell.

I'd disagree with that... if the 180's were in their original U.S. price point ($600). Although that is somewhat inflated here (), IMO it would still be a viable option as it's (or was) 1/2 the price of an XCR or RFB.

 

[m_falafel]

Is my only option to get one is used? I'd like to get one completely stock. Does it still exist? lol

 

[Ar180shooter]

Yes, used only, although a stock one (or one with only a top rail added) will pop up on the EE from time to time.

It looks like they might not be giving up on the AR-180b.

"The 180B is to be re-designed in 2011 and hopefully re-introduced in
2012. It will not have the polymer lower. No further information is
available at this time.

I really really hope this happens

 

[albertaguide]

i'm currently designing a floating forearm for my AR180 and will eventually like to offer them for sale. more to follow in a few months

 

[Teapot]

On another thread someone who went to SHOT spoke with an Armalite rep who said Armalite is too busy with other things and the 180B is on the back burner.
Such paucity of non Restricted rifles under $2.5-$3,000.

 

[Shooting Bastard]

Heads up: There's a 180B for sale on the Vancouver BuySell site..... $1400

 

[dweenz]

its the restricted one in 9mm though

 

[dweenz]

[Kevin M.]

Figured I would add these for my buddy Gunslingr, whose rifle this is.

Nope. The seller has 2 in the one add. A restricted 9mm AR, and a non restricted .223 AR180B...

 

[Turf]

There's 2 rifles listed in the ad. A Colt AR with a 9mm upper AND an Armalite AR180B, both are $1400.00. 180Bs were never made in 9mm

LOL, same time

 

[Teapot]

$1,400 for a 180B?

 

[Turf]

$1,400 for a 180B?

By the description in the ad it looks to be stock. (and the seller doesn't know what he has.) If I had 1400 bones I'd snap it up.
