As stated, the AR180b lower will accept AR180 uppers and it is still non restricted. It even says this in the ar180b frt entry.

Pics? Going to market?
Hey, I built enough for myself. I don't have time for you guys!
We've been waiting for that for long enough that in the meantime Armalite has stopped building the rifle In fact, wasn't Paul Martin the PM when I first heard of this???

So it isn't really much more than a home built.
The rest of us will drool over used Armalites and Nodaks until someone comes along to help us out with a new refined model.
There is an AR180B style firearm in the works as we speak by a Canadian manufacturer.

Its actually a replacement for the ar180b, which also takes ar180 uppers.
Mind blowing, I know.
As for NEA's NEA-25, it has an frt already. Just needs to hit the market.

Yes. But they'll have a different gun released before then. They still don't have an frt number for their 180b offering.
They may have received some help to speed along the design process. FRT won't take long at all.

It is illegal for anyone to export firearms or parts manufactured by a company which is not registered for export with the state department. It's not inexpensive so a number of manufacturing companies don't bother.
Note that by law the manufacturer (in addition to the actual exporter) must be registered before the product can be exported.
The fines for violation can be large, one of the night vision companies paid fines in excess of $100 million dollars for improperly exporting controlled items....seems to decrease the enthusiasm to "help a Canadian out"...
The fines are published on us gov't websites, I'm sure you can find some firearms company examples.

The Information in this Thread is old news with new hope Aluminum lowers have been talked about over and over I contacted NDS about 8 months ago and offered to pay for the two receivers required for inspection by Canadian Authorities for approval if they would just do the paper work. Got a BIG "NO" so been surfing for any detail drawings for the AR180B lower. I have had a AR180B lower Scanned and a AR15 lower scan and a drawing made of the two put together to form a Hybrid of sorts. once I have all the measurement applied I will have a polymer proto type made and tested and if no changes are needed I will have a aluminum lower made and sent off to be approved. but this will take me sometime to do this. told the Canadian approval alone is a year plus!
and No I am not a Manufacture or retail just a guy with a broken gun that wants it fixed. and yes I used the hinge repair but it didn't sit exactly correct and the rifle now has feed issues and its kind of a one shot deal with the glue and the new holes, in hind sight a jig to position the hinge in the exact position would of been a great accessories..

These are my posts from the sticky:
I would like to let you all know that we are now registered with State.
I have spoke with the guys at I Run Guns, and they said they can handle the transfers.
So if there are any NDS-18S questions I can answer let me know.

The first batch of 100 is down to less than 15 left.
However, we currently have another batch of 100 on the CNC right now. We can make them whenever we need to, all I have to do is order some billet.
These are a lot easier for me to process than the retro forgings because they don't have to be polished to get the anodizing to turn out right.
