Description
Product Details
The Lynx 180B lower is the direct descendent of the Armalite AR-180B but has been updated to to offer better ergonomics, weight savings, quality, and function. The Lynx 180B is Made In Canada.

Flared Magazine Well - A flared magazine well allows for faster and more ergonomic reloads.

Modular Design - Unlike any other lower on the market, the Lynx 180B has a modular stock mount. Initial offerings will support AR carbine stocks, but 1913 and Armalite AR-180 stock compatibility is coming. The Lynx 180B can be converted to use these different types of stock without clunky adapters.

Huge Weight Savings - The design of the Lynx 180B was not influenced by the common brick. This has allowed us to save up to a 1/4 lbs of weight compared to WK180C, WS-MCR, and Nodak Spud lower receivers.

Standard AR Trigger Pins - Are you upgrading your trigger? Tired of needing special extra long trigger pins? The Lynx 180B is compatible with standard AR trigger pins, including anti-rotation pins.

Compatible With All 180B Lower Parts - You can upgrade your WS-MCR or WK180C with a Lynx 180B lower receiver and use all of the lower receiver parts from your donor rifle.

Compatible With All 180B Upper Receivers - The Lynx 180B has been designed to be fully compatible with all AR-180B upper receivers including the WK180C, WS-MCR, and Armalite upper receivers.

Field Tested - The Lynx 180B has undergone months of testing in the extreme conditions found at 3 gun matches. The Lynx 180B has been tested in wet, dry, cold, hot, and dusty conditions.

Parts Included:

Lynx 180B Lower with AR Carbine Style Stock Mount
Precision Front Take Down Pin (Threaded)

Is it compatible with the current Galil stock?

That looks great. Any options for a 1913 on the rear?

@jamesbarnsley30 Yes! Unlike the other offerings, ours is modular. The entire stock mount is interchangeable and we're working on a 1913 mount right now.

Our lower is designed to be a light as possible. No, the Galil stock will not fit initially. Once we do the 1913 stock mount we will look at a Galil one. The rear of the receiver can be swapped out in a few seconds to support different stock types. This is unique to our lower.

Some people were asking for better pictures of our 180 lower... We'll get more this weekend, but for now this is what we have.

Also have these: https://spectreballistics.com/267-large_default/lynx-180b-lower-receiver.jpg

Pictured the lower is build using WS-MSR parts and mounted to a WK180C upper. The lower is compatible with all 180b uppers and LPKs from either WK or MSR rifles.

Also our lower can be quickly and easily converted to use 1913 stocks. Here's a render of the 1913 stock mount: https://media.spectreballistics.com/i.php?/upload/2021/07/15/20210715231134-4a127513-la.png

It's a stripped lower. You can add a bolt release if you wish, or just use the normal AR180B one.

I have had the pleasure of handling one of these lowers. A thing of beauty. My only critique would be the mag well angle. I don't understand every 180 manufacturer keeps that ugly and un ergonomic angle.

Are these (lynx) DI?

 

[Bombsquad68]

I want to get behind this rifle but wow that fit and finish.

BRN-180M at home

i’m with you 1000%. i’m surprised no one has made a lower with a magwell with more of a AR look… i bought a 3d printed one that gives it that look but, it’s kinda lame, plastic…

Can you guys do a Zhukov stock mount? The Magpul Zhukov stock is reasonably priced, folds, and has a real cheek rest. A lot of the 1913 stocks have garbage cheek rests.

Yes. It will be the Yugo Zhukov. Also going to do a Galil one.

Badass. Bring in a bunch of those stocks and some of the cheek risers, you'll need them.

I figured there would be more demand for the Zhukov than 1913, but it seems everyone wants 1913 even though the stocks are expensive and hard to come by. The Zhukov stock is awesome.

Since there seems to be a demand, could you 3D Print an skeleton style , Picatinny attaching stock of your own? It would pair nicely with the Pic adapter for your new lower. Synergy!

We do have plans on making a 1913 stock. It would be aluminum.

Zhukov stock adapter update: Burned a bit of the midnight oil and got the initial design finished. There's a couple of minor details to change but we expect to have a working aluminum prototype this week. The Zhukov stock is going to be great on the Lynx 180B.

Here's a picture of the rough 3d printed version:

So I may or may not have one of these lowers coming. I'm a total noob to this. Could one of you fine gentleman point me in the direction of a parts kit or the parts I need to make this a complete lower? The grip and buttstock I can figure out, it's the importanter bits I know nothing about. I'm thinking of picking up one of the new 9mm kits from TNA to start and then maybe another upper in something more deer friendly(or not so friendly)...

Thanks!

There's no gas system in the lower bro..

Im almost certain that building one will cost way more than a complete rifle.

Building a lower will be more than a whole rifle? I may have made a mistake then...

Not true,

Check out TNA’s website, you can buy everything you’ll need there. It uses standard AR mag release, you can buy the upgraded bolt catch for $50, and you’ll need one of their safeties. Takes AR triggers, grips and stocks. I’m pretty sure that other guy is just a complete hater of the 180 platform based on comments from other threads.

DM me is you have any questions about building or buying parts for your new lower.

anyone seen the 1913 stock that xreme is selling? looks like a rip-off of the unobtanium sig unit, and big $, but but cool ...
