It is a fun gun to shoot. This tread really needs some love, so I'll post pics when I get it back. |

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror and murder, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had 500 years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Had an original crank handle put on a couple years ago. It's a much more lefty-friendly rifle. It's currently got a trijicon aimpoint in an ADM Recon mount on it: 
ETA: I'm going to remove the ace side folder and go with a stormwerkz set up for a sidefolding buffer tube and a magpul CTR. I think Bravoman and hepcat's were that way in earlier pics in this thread, and I think it's a better set up utility wise. |

I wish someone would make a conversion kit or something so that the old 180 lowers could take regular mags. I would love to have one and put a "modern" 180b upper on it, because as i recall, the originals were 1:12 twist. Also, pics of 180's, two in the last couple of weeks. Setting a record for recent history of this thread. Let's get this thread going again! |

Bone stock and up till yesterday, unfired.
My daughter and I fixed that problem :) Fun Shoot It should be going under the knife soon as a pistol/sbr built on a new NDS-18S lower. |

What are you going to do when they come out with the NDS-18S upper that takes AR barrels and has a flat-top rail?

I think the standard ArfCom answer to that question is "Both" :) Shot a quick video when I built my NDS-18S lower for those who might be interested. NDS-18S Lower Build |

For those who haven't seen it in my other threads or on my blog.
It's ready to head to the range for testing and dialing in the gas port size.

I would be so happy if this was a factory option |

Unfired until last week.
The front sight was way off, dialed it in with bore sight. Can't wait to get back to the range. Searching for an original scope mount. I'll keep mine as stock as possible. I'll probably get a Nodak billet to keep the polymer lower in new condition.

I have a request from you owners of AR180B's, I am trying to put together a database of the small variations that happened during it's production run.
As I see it the first version had a nut at the base of the barrel that tightened to the trunion to set head space. 
The second, and most common variant, has the barrel screwed directly into the trunion and has an integral muzzle break. The final version had a screw on flash-hider. If you would like to contribute your serial number and it's features to the database please email me at rkelley91 at gmail dot com |
I don't know if this is the right place for this rifle. It is AR-18 inspired and uses a similar bolt carrier system.   Daewoo Max II (Civilian K2) Long stroke gas piston system just like the AK and PWS Diablo. |

Bought this "new" in box yesterday. It was a major impulse buy and I am still trying to figure out if it was a good idea or not.
The idea was that I wanted to make it into a BumpSAW for my thread and make it a mishmash of M249 and AR-180 parts. The more I look at the lower, the less I think it's possible.

I could use your help.
I am hoping to lock down a timeline of the changes that were made to the 180B. Details are in my latest article. http://ar180s.com/early-late-armalite-ar180b/ Basically changes to the lower, barrel and when the factory threaded the barrel. If I can start to put these feature in a spread sheet with the serial numbers, it would tell us a lot. |
More porn for you all. I have a B-square adapter, a riser rail and a cheapo tapco illuminated scope mounted on this for the time being.
Grr and double grr on getting the image to display inline. With the crazy AR-15 sales going on I could almost buy a whole ar for the price of that new lower (which looks really, really nice). I'm still not a fan of cleaning the chamber on a DI gun... |

The rig got too heavy, so I replaced the MI rail with the original hand guards but now with grippy tape on to(the wife loves that). I also put on a magpul adjustable stock, but cut the back of the buffer tube(the 180 does not have a buffer) and now houses the cleaning kit and spares. The weight went from above 11lb to below 9lb. It also sports a Palmetto EPT trigger and a regular A2 flash suppressor. The Aimpoint H1 red dot is at the factory to fix the brightness knob and now the 180b has a Weaver K2.5 scope on it.
