Composting here because it didn’t seem to fit anywhere else.
Did Brownells discontinue the 16” 5.56 BRN180? I’ve been looking around on the net and can’t seem to fund a complete rifle anywhere.

It’s news to me that they ever sold it as a complete rifle. I thought you always had to piece it together.

I wasn't aware they made a complete rifle version of the BRN-180.  I did pick up a couple of uppers.  A 5.56 and a 300 BLK.  They are well made and worth the price.  

Gonna subscribe to see where this goes.

They don't sell complete rifles

They did discontinue their branded lowers, rumored because the manufacturer went out of business
Now you can get either an ADM or FM lower w/ picatinny rear

This one may be leaving me, either at $1.00 or at $10,000, No clue which one

I wanted to build one soon but since they discontinued their lowers, the costs have skyrocketed. The aftermarket lowers are way more expensive than the branded lowers were.

lighter and less recoil  - short-stroke piston vs long on the jakl
brn180 upper drops onto any milspec lower, jakl requires modified bolt catch and installation of a little buffer piece where the buffer tube would normally be

nothing against the jakl, I plan to pickup a couple this year too

Do they still have uppers listed? Figure $200-$300 for the lower maybe? It’s all subjective.

The base uppers were around $800 and stripped lowers were around $150 when I bought - prices have gone up since
Depending on which coupons and/or holiday sales you got in on, might've been able to shave off a couple hundred total

I went on Brownell's and looked for a lower configured for the BRN-180.  I was curious what options are available.  Here is one by ADM specifically made for the BRN-180 uppers.  Price doesn't seem too far out of line.

I'm glad I got mine when they were available.  I like the looks of the BRN lower, even despite the fake spot welds.

It's been a fun upper, very slim and light weight.

The standard is plenty heavy duty.

You're a scholar and a gentleman.

Now back to the BRN-180. If they made a 6-8" barreled 300BO upper I'd be all over it. I wanted to like the JAKL, since I already have an SBR'd lower with a pic rail plug and MI folder for my AR22 upper, but the JAKL isn't really plug and play. You have to add the bits to the back of the lower receiver for the JAKL uppers, and then it won't take a standard upper.

They need a really short, designed for subs only, 300BO BRN-180 upper.

Isn’t the MCX piston? Anything can work well if designed. Seems like most of the problems I’ve seen was with people operating outside what the system was designed for.

I totally agree on the short upper. I bought a 10” but haven’t shot it. Right after I bought mine they released the upper optimized for subsonic which is my luck.

I think he’s talking about the SH upper. It’s not really “optimized” for subsonic. It has an additional gas setting that completely shuts off the gas. No cycling, less noise.

I bought the factory FDE cerakote 10.5" upper when they had them but I have never shot it.

I also have one of those Foxtrot Mike FM-15 gen 2 uppers that I've never shot.

It seems I just collect this shit now a days.

I need to get to the range soon or start selling the stuff I've never shot.

With the new ATF rules on what constitutes being a dealer, I'd probably be sent to prison just for trying to empty my safe of stuff I have no use for.

They used optimized in their description that's the only reason I used it.
https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts/rifle-parts/rifle-receivers-parts/brn-180sh-suppressor-optimized-300-blackout-10-upper-receiver/

the new BRN-180SH Suppressor Optimized Upper Receiver notably includes a gas shutoff setting. This is not uncommon on piston driven firearms, it has rarely been utilized as a true “single shot” setting. Combined with the adjustable charging handle, which can be pointed downwards like a bolt action, the BRN-180SH can be configured into an extremely quiet, fast charging single shot. Simply adjust the gas system off, then pull the charging handle back and release to cycle. The single shot function eliminates ejection port escaping gasses, which can increase noise at the shooter’s ear and in general. If the user wishes to shoot semi-auto, the gas system can simply be set to the suppressed or unsuppressed setting, adjust the charging handle upwards, and run the upper normally. The charging handle can be left downwards, but may interfere with the shooter’s firing grip in semi-auto.

I wouldn't mind having a BRN-180, but I have an ACR already for a short stroke piston driven gun, and would much rather have a JAKL if I had to pick between a JAKL and BRN-180.

I have a 16" BRN-180 in 5.56 with 300-400 rounds on it.  No issues but all ammo has been 55g, either .223 velocity or M193.  It's accurate enough, and has a very light recoil impluse. It does feel different than an AR.

My 180 would stovepipe every 3-7 rounds.  
Spent casings were hitting the knurled end of the charging handle and were being deflected back into the ejection port.
Switched to a straight handle and no more malfunctions.

I have a 10.5" BRN-180 upper that I run on a milspec LMT defender lower with Kaw valley pic stock adapter.
I have a Sig adjustable folding stock on it.
One difference to note about the BRN vs jakl is minor but the bolt/buffer assembly is held in place on the jakl upper and there is nothing to hold the BRN assembly in place.
Not a concern when mounted on a lower but if the BRN180 upper is detached, it will eventually fall out of the upper.

I only have about 400 rds through the 10.5" BRN180 but it has been 100%.  
Its pretty compact folded.  All I need to add is a QD K sized suppressor.
Throw it in a backpack.

Yeah they had sales on them and quit making them. I have no idea if that's permanent or not. I hate it when companies come out with stuff and then drop it. I almost bought a second lower but I haven't shot my gun yet so I'm not sure if I'll like it so don't want to get too deep into it. I do regret not grabbing one of the Brownells 180 folding stocks they closed out for $50.

Foxtrot Mike says some of their lowers work with BRN180 uppers and I found this Brownells page that says they work with the BRN. I'd definitely confirm first to be safe.

If your interest runs closer to a standard AR-15 or you have the Mike-15 upper receiver, you can get a Mike-15 lower receiver fitted with a Magpul Zhukov folding stock OR with the Picatinny Rail Adapter and a THRiL pistol grip. Good news: the Mike-15 lower receiver is compatible with Brownells BRN-180 upper receivers.

I really like this one, it shoots better than an ar for sure!! It was a gift from Brownells and I hate to part with it but I’m looking at moving overseas and can’t take it
