Too late. If I wanted one I'd get the Brownells version, but I don't.

Yes.
Had one previously and loved it but lack of mags and the offer I received for it are why I got rid of it. As long as it uses standard mags I will buy one. |

Exact clone? Yes, depending on price
BRN180 upper on a billet AR-180 lower? Interesting BRN180 upper on an Armalite marked AR15 lower? Not really |

Depends on price and form factor. Possibly yes. Needs to use AR magazines and have a folding stock similar to the original for me to be interested.

I pretty sure I remember the "Armalite"company name was bought by Eagle Arms many many years ago. The Armalite company today is NOT the same as the original. I believe they would need to start from scratch on the tooling.
Someone correct me......... |

I'd consider it if:
-Stanag comparable -Upgraded and modernized build designed to take current AR market accessories, fcg, etc -$1000 or less otd But it won't, and will flop for those reasons. |

Correct, but the new ArmaLite made a 180 in the 2000s. Poorly designed lower and had to comply with 1994 ban. Not a bad rifle at all with a NDS-18 replacement lower and some stuff. Actually very nice with upgrades.

If it was an original copy right down to the last axis pin, then yes.
Sadly, that would make too much sense for most in the industry. |

If they were to go back to the original stamped steel/welded lower construction ---that Id be interested in, but I know it would also push the price way up.
