Reader Pics: Interesting Sterling AR180

Reader Ken shot me an email the other day and asked some questions about his newly acquired Sterling AR180. Turns out, I had more questions for him than he had for me, and more questions remain unanswered.

His question was simple enough, “I’m trying to find info on my Sterling AR180, would you by chance know anything about this serial No. A101XX?”

If you know much about the AR18/180 platform that should raise some questions, 180 serial numbers don’t have an “A” prefix, they have an “S”.

AR18’s start with an “A”.

I asked for some pictures.

Turns out to look like a legit, unfired, Sterling AR180 Semi Auto, but the serial starts with an “A”. They even used an AR18 hammer.

Here are some pics. Let me know what you think.
