A bunch of wet sanding and I am at this point.
Next up polishing compound.
That was a little premature. Gotta go back to some finer sandpaper first. I like where this is heading.

I thought y’all might like to see the cover.
I didn’t contribute but they did mention my web site. Make sure you pick it up when it hits the store shelves.
AR180S Pistol Grip Prototype
Been wanting a better pistol grip to use on my Nodak NDS-18S lowers pretty much since they came out.
I used an ArmaLite grip but only bought a couple before they stopped selling them. (Sound familiar?) It also didn’t have the right shape.
Since I have been working with Fusion 360 I have been thinking of all kinds of things to design. Why not a better looking pistol grip.
I’ve still got a few kinks to iron out then I can make a more detailed print. I’m confident it would be a functional part when I am done and will certainly put it through it’s paces. It is very comfortable in the hand.
I’m diggin’ it. Anyone else?

I’ll just leave this here.
AR-18 Upper For Sale
Well there was what was described as an AR-18 parts kit for sale on gunbroker. When I first saw it the seller had an F rating. The description also mentioned that the parts were in Europe.
I still am confused about what part of the AR-18 actually is the “Machine Gun”. The parts kits that Numrich sold some years back were first sold with the uppers cut and the lowers intact, not unlike the current SAR-80 kits. The ATF changed their minds and had Numrich recall them to cut the lowers up.
I invite your comments and speculation about whether an AR-18 upper is legal to own or if it could be imported into the country?
I saved the sole picture from the auction so after it goes away this post will still have some value.
Buy it now price was $995 and the auction was ended early. Who knows what happened behind the scenes?
