I did a name change from Gyrodude to tchick. I use tchick on other forums so I decided to change to that here also. Here's a photo of the Primary Arms M4 with the spacer removed. I can't wait to take it out to a range and try it out.

Having some problems with my AR180B overall gun shoots and handles fine, when the mag is empty and the bolt locks to the rear. When the mag is removed the bolt drops and when I lock the bolt to the rear it does not hold. Is there any parts or modification to be done to fix my problem. Any help will do thanks

Sounds like maybe your bolt catch is worn out.

AR 180 Costa Mesa born, bought it from the original owner...he shot 100 times over the last 40+ years...he parted with it because he was getting rid of weapons in his old age. He has a Colt FA A2 sitting in his cabinet also. Offered him $4,000 for it..he almost sold it to me, and he will eventually.
 The AR 180 is in amazing condition, he had never cleaned it and when I broke it down there was very carbon build-up on the piston..it looks brand new on this inside of the gun.   |

Anyone tried to SBR a 180? I have seen everything else here but I am looking for the most compact lightweight rifle. AR's will not get there because of the buffer, the SCAR I have is a little heavy even if I cut the barrel down, HKs are a lot heavy so I am thinking about a 180B converted to 6.8 with a 12" barrel. I think the OAL would be around 21" folded and under 6lbs of course the AR Magpul stock and buffer tube may add some weight. I made a few mid length op rods, a barrel is no problem and I think I can take a day and make a 180 bolt.
ETA -tues, barrel and op rod done, need to make a bolt and figure out a rail of some sort. |

Here's mine. She's a Sterling AR-180 I swapped over for my ex's M-4gery I built for her. Oh well, I still have my M-4gery and my son still has his CAR-15/M-4gery so it's not a big loss. Anyways, the one thing that bugs me is the price of original magazines. However, since I have a crap-ton, metric, one of, each, M-16 mags around and the details of how to convert M-16 mags to AR-180 mags, it's not really an issue. I have a couple mags I converted that have some feeding problems but it's no big deal to make more of them, rip the guts out of the bad mags and use them as manual of arms mags that will lock in yet still allow the bolt to be retracted and released like a loaded mag will. Anyways, here she is:
Here's my M-4gery I still have: 
And here's my son's CAR-15/M-4gery that I'm waiting for him to grow into:  |

Say out there, I have an older 180 with an original single ring scope mount. Where can I find a weaver that fits these? I've seen them here in many of the pics posted.

I may upgrade to their Primary Arms red dot rail in the near future. |

I don't care what anyone says. Armalite missed the boat in NOT further developing the AR180 Charlie. Just a random mini-rant.
