Celebrating the Armalite AR-180
I posted about my AR180B in box for sale some time back and it is up on Gunbroker. No reserve so have at it. I would love to see it go to a good home with one of my readers.
I’ve also added the AR-180 bolt catch to the shopping cart to make it easier for those interested in buying them. You should find a link at the top of the page.
Thanks to all those who read, share, and buy my stuff. It all helps support the site and keep it running.
Not a clone, in fact it is designed to work with an AR15 lower. Still want to get one and cut it down. Yes that will happen.
$799 and all you can do is get on the email list at this time.
ARFCom member Veltro started a thread in the retro section about his AR-180 malfunction.

I have my thoughts on what happened but for those that don’t frequent those forums he gave me permission to post pictures here.
Leave a comment with what you think happened.
Doing a live stream on YouTube today featuring a build of an AR180B parts kit on a Nodak Spud NDS-18S lower. For those not familiar my not often used YouTube channel is BigRix.
Not sure exactly what time it’s going to start but I’m shooting for somewhere around 12 noon or 1:00 Arizona Time.
If you subscribe to me on YouTube and click the Bell you should get notified when it starts. You can also give me a follow on InstaGram at bigrix and I will announce it there as well.
Please join me and I will try to answer any questions you might have.
I ran a quick test run last night to see if it would work and here it is in all it’s glory.
Edit, All done and here it is.
Reader David sent me some pics of his home made upper receiver shell. He also made gas system parts, guide rail, and a scope mount. Great work. I love seeing this type of ingenuity. Keep the pics coming as the build continues David.
