Did anyone know that Vulcan Armament makes AR-180s?

Cool, but might fall under the prohib 180's rather than the non-restricted 180b. Good price too.

Vulcan, run as fast and far as you can.

Meh, I'd buy one for 700 bucks.

Yeah, they were mentioned last year, and the consensus was that they're variants of the original AR-180, so they're a no go. From what was discussed, apparently the reports on the guns down south weren't favorable anyways.

Yea reading further I withdraw my "I'd buy on for 700 dollars" comment. I figured how bad could you #### up a rifle that was designed well? But apparently it is possible.

They are coathanger abortions

 

[Armedsask]

I wouldn't even say that. Unlike Vulcan guns, Coat hanger abortions work.

I thought the major differences between the AR180 and AR180B were the polymer lower, use of the AR-15 trigger mech. and compatibility with AR-15 magazines. All of which can be said of these rifles.

What am I missing here?

OUCH! Now that's an slam.

The original 180 was select fire I believe.

That was the AR-18.

 

[F22_RaptoR]

Ohh good lord, they're making self-detonating AR-180's now too?


Seriously, there is a reason vulcan/hesse have such a bad reputation. I would rather buy a high point than a vulcan....

I dunno. I'm just going by what Canam told us:

Well then, let's get those instead.

 

[lawn gnome]

Vulcan made the mistake as advertising them as variations of the AR18.

 

[Armedsask]

Well then, let's get those instead.

AR18 and AR180 are prohibited, by name.

Vulcan rifle is prohibited as an AR180 variant because they claim it to be such. It's garbage regardless.

As for the AR180B, it has some differences in the upper as well. You can't drop an AR18 or AR180 upper onto an AR180B lower without changing some key parts, namely the recoil spring guide rod assembly.

I like the way you think, man!

Ah, alright. First I've heard of it. I'd love to get my hands on the drafts!

How's that project of yours coming, btw?

On the AR18/AR180 guide rod assembly, the guide rods extend past the back plate by about 1/8", that provides your locking. As you may know, the AR180B uses a single pin in the center and towards the bottom of the plate to provide locking. By swapping the recoil spring guide rod assemblies, you can drop a Stirling AR180 upper right on an AR180B lower. Bolt hold open will not function, however. As well, the AR180 upper will render the firearm restricted due to barrel length.

As for the project, I cannot comment on business related items for fear of incurring the wrath of the CGN mods.

Put the upper from a prohibited rifle on the lower of a non-restricted rifle, thereby making it restricted.

Right, right... The line between information and advertisement can be a pretty narrow one in this industry, eh?
