Possibility of a Norinco AR180b

I'd like to see this go beyond a CGN thread, and could justify spending money on it if the furniture and accessories are interchangeable with standard AR furniture and has rails on it.
 
Why not something cool and controversial?, maybe even a redesigned prohib. I like the idea of a non-restricted Imbel MD or a full size fn fal.

I wonder what the market numbers were for this rifle when they were sold openly for several years? If my memory serves they didn't sell strongly, at least not what is being alluded to in this thread. I believe those soft sales numbers are keeping new production off the table.

That was a different time... a person was able to buy non-restricted AR's, AK's, HK's, Daewoo, Stery, etc...

Then the government went full-retard.


....never go full-retard.

Honestly... I think you could glue two bison turds together and people would buy it just because it was NR...

You're right!!!! Anything that we can take out into the bush and shoot (safely of course!) without incurring the wrath of the most useless government office in existence!!!
 
Really? Armalite AR-180bs were produced circa 2002 to 2009. I might be a bit off, but it's certainly well after the mid 1990s.

IF the cheap polymer hinge is replaced with real metal,
and if the stupid proprietary long thin triangular scope mounting plate is replaced with a pic rail,
and if said pic rail is properly attached, NOT spot welded on,
then we might have something here.

Definitely replace that mounting plate. It tends to tilt the rail base upward a slightly enough to use up most of the scope elevation.
 
I think to way to solve all the problems mentioned here, would be for firearms owners to finally demand that the AR platform become nonrestricted again. Simple really.
 
Someone should just copy the Keltec SU-16, but make it out of aluminum and steel.

It would easily sell for $1000 Canadian.

QBZ-03 a better choice in a common caliber. Why would anybody give any gun plans to the Chinese?

Pfft! As if they don't already have them.


Just about any firearm that's already been made and available to public, can be reverse engineered.

Not a hunter...Yet.
But it seems to me that if you could change some of the hunting provincial regs so it could be used for hunting , get that crowd on board (and non restricted of course ) this would be the foot in the door to its wide acceptance as a universal tool rather than a range toy and make it much more difficult to ban later.
PS...Not trying to spark a caliber debate here.
