Hey all,

We just wanted to do a quick post dealing with the cost of the 180B build.

I know that TSE_Sales is referring to cost of NR being high in general, and not specifically our build. HOWEVER, with our build that is 100% not the case.

The cost of this rifle is 100% due to the cost of manufacturing the components included in the build. The quality and precision involved with making the individual pieces, the application of proper coatings, and the production of a quality build that works and will last is what makes up the cost.

Our company mission statement is to provide HIGH quality parts and firearms without ripping off the consumer with NR tax. We have not done that on this build and will never do that on any of our parts, or firearms.

There is a tendency for people to compare our 180B build to the WK180C simply because they are based on the same original AR180B-2 platform. We have said before that both of these rifles are drastically different builds. As an example, the bolt release is machined from solid 4140 Steel…folded and stamped plate metal could make the part cheaper, but that is not good enough for us. AR15 builds can range from $750 all the way up to $4000. That does not mean that the $4K gun is overpriced.

The competition for our 180B is better likened to firearms built by companies like ATRS, Maccabe, IWI, Robinson Arms and such. In fact, though our rifle could be priced against the competition in the $3000 plus range, ours retails at the $2300(ish) range.

In addition we can add that the firearms are at the Shooting Edge right now because they are 100% willing to put it there, without demanding a huge markup which would increase the price even more to the consumer.

We really respect this attitude from the Shooting Edge as they felt it was better to get the firearms available to you rather than gouge you on price.

Have a great weekend!

Lmao if you were just honest about wanting to max out profits id respect you more than "our bolt releases are steel so 2k please". Do you expect us to believe this garbage, i cant stand companies who take canadian gun owners for fools. You were right about one thing though your quality is probably on par with maccabee...lol.
 
Well naming a gun 180B when we already have a 180C on the market is not the best idea. Just sayin makes it feel like last year’s product. Maybe I am not a gun nut enough but its like sony realeasing a ps4 where there competitors have a ps5 on the market. My 2 cents
 
Its hard for manufacturers to explain the cost of manufacturing, and maybe every last millimeter of this rifle is made of ANODIZED UNOBTANIUM from an asteroid but its getting harder for people to believe pricing when we see that you can bring a decent quality NR
Ar-180b to market for $1100, and still have retailers make a profit.

Hard agreement here. I'll be steering clear.
This makes me really upset to see.
 
Tough crowd :)

Who cares what the price point is of two similar products. Its early days. Let the market (CGN posts, reviews, testimonials, youtube videos, etc) speak for the product and then you can make a decision if the product provides the value proposition that you are comfortable paying. There are a gazillion reasons that dictate a products price, one of many could (and could not be) be a larger profit margin. In a hypothetical world if a product was 2 times the price of another similar product, yet it lasted multitudes longer or performed multitudes better or had multitudes less maintenance - would there be an issue with the higher priced product, or would you be a happy gun enthusiast.

A company is bringing a new product to the Canadian market (i believe designed and manufactured in Canada?) And new manufacturing and retail competition to the existing market. This alone should bring joy to the entire community in these troubling times.
 
Why don't you guys, instead of itching, bring an offering to market with pricing more in-line with your principles. Canadian market must be easy so why not give it a go?

Or just buy the product that is more reasonably priced that already exists.
 
You can buy a Russian sks blued for 200-350$ some more but 200-300$ and then you get the Yugo or a new Chinese sks 700$ or more ! Any better quality ? Nope more desirable ? Not to most, but some fellas like them.

So far without proof, or unbiased side by side review and or extensive round count on both the 180c and 180b we will not know the real differences are there. So until then my guess is the 180b won’t sell very many if any at all and the 180c bring half the price will continue to sell tons.

I’m happy we have a multitude of feedom stick options :)

Im so sick of this illogical sentiment. Like i cant possibly have legitimate criticism unless i start my own gun company lmao yeah seems reasonable...I'm sure this will be a fine gun, just overpriced regardless of the quality of their bolt release lol.

Nothing illogical about risk and reward:) . Different businesses have different costs and pricing requirements to make a reasonable profit . If you don't like someones pricing either buy something else or if you think you can do better give it a try yourself. I just don't get the slagging of those who bring offerings to market because you don't agree with their pricing. It's because of all these guys expanding the market why you have the choice to select the product that fits your own pricing/value sensibilities.

It's more like these guys are expanding the market specifically due to consumer demand for an AR parts compatible NR black rifle that's reasonably priced. There are plenty of premium options already, and any seller will have to justify a premium price. If it weren't for all the people "slagging off" all the retailers, there wouldn't be as much choice as there is. Sitting quietly with your hands in your pockets isn't the way to let retailers and manufacturers know what you want.
 
Kinda disappointing to see so many taking a steamy pile on such a small/new Canadian firearms manufacturer, until there's a side by side comparison I will withhold my judgement.

I agree. However, most critics here have never seen, felt, touched, handled or shot the RWA 180B.

We are going to put a couple of the ranges and see how they both perform and hold up in the long run. Iʻm happy to do the same with ANY firearm.
