Well at least a few of them. According to the accepted timeline (Click Here) the first 12 AR-180 rifles were made in July 1969. 50 years ago this month.
As time marches on more and more will become Curio & Relics. Time to get your C & R FFL so we can start selling and trading these among each other. Best part, they can be mailed directly to your house!
The real question is, how do we get those who are selling them to agree they now fall under the C & R classification and it would be perfectly legal to ship them to me?
One thing is for sure, in 3 years all Costa Mesa AR-180’s will qualify for C & R status.
I welcome you comments on this. What do you think?
If I’m not mistaken, ALL AR-180s, whether it be Costa Mesa, Howa or Sterling have an approx date of manufacture which can span various years. It’ll be at least another 10 years before ALL AR-180 will fall under the C&R heading.
