So, does this mean that the rifles coming in are restricted, or are they getting them manufactured with longer barrels? Is it going to be a new model or same as the old one? Also, anyone have any experience with the Molle series rifle cases? They look pretty good and are inexpensive, do you know if Wolverine would be able to import these, and does anyone have any other suggestions as to a similar case that holds an AR and with mag pouches, etc.? (Price doesn't matter) Thanks for any info.
EDIT: Also, does anyone know Molle's website, or of any other models of cases they make other than the rangemaster? Thanks.

from what i read (not that goodly) the barrels are now threaded. 18.2(restricted). but there are some states that don't allow threaded barrels so they are making the old style for these places(like canadians need) but in small batches.
as for the case, just import it yourself. you don't need permits for cases. they are not firearm parts.

The flash hider doesn't count towards barrel length anyway!?
My only guess would be, to make the threaded barrels Armalite cut a little bit off the end of the barrel and then threaded them, or made a new run of barrels that were a little shorter then the previous ones, making them 18.2" now

The rifled portion of the AR180B barrel is 18.25 inches, and therefore too short.
The only reason it isn't resricted is that the muzzlebrake is integral to the barrel and brings it over the 18.5 mark. The threaded AR180B barrels from Armalite are restricted and always will be.
We that have threaded our 180B's have let that extra 1/2 inch of the muzzlebrake material on to keep it legal. Either that or we just keep our mouths shut.

Barrel length is measured to the end of the rifling, not to the end of an integral muzzle brake, counterbore, etc.Armedsask said:

That's crazy. I'm not complaining either, just really good about the first batch.
The reason I asked is because I went through all this barrel length crap with the first krinker plinker that was imported. Barrel to the end of the welded on muzzle brake, nope, barrel length to the end of the barrel, nope, to the start of the crown, to the MM, yes, damn. lol.

It was a Black and Decker soldering gun.
And ###yglock, yes the AR180B only has 18.25" of rifleing. I think the reason is because it's all one piece. Welding on a flashhider means all you did was added something. With the 180B, it was always there, part of the barrel.

I'd like to register one of thoes ear peircing guns and causually make the comment that is the best thing I've ever shot anyone with. "Yep that's right, always twice...in the head..."
You know, AG42B's have an intergraded break too. Mine is measured with the break included...but I did register it my self and never better at the time. Not that it matters as it has barrel to spare.
