Very true! Very good point Yek.............. At this point, I'm not trading mine in for a "New" 180 that simply has a Flat top and removable sights. Screw that.....I got my rail, I'm happy. At this point I'd love to come up with some simple mods that increase reliability, like the before mentioned TIER ONE items.

I've not confirmed this for sure but will next week. I'm certain that some Canadian had put a RAS on his AR-180B but am not certain this is the person. 5sub Just noticed the photo gallery and saw the AR-180B with Predator 12X RIS. Anyone know anything about the Predator RIS ??

The 180b at shot show had the Picatinny rail top, threaded A2 flash suppressor, and no front sight. (picatinny gas block) The best part is its the same price as the old one.

I can live without chrome for a multiplicity of reasons....Thanks to Sturmwerkz I don't need a flat top....frankly, I HATE folding stocks.....so that leaves a dustcover.

Anyone know anything about the Predator RIS ?? These guys, and several others have put on ar15 forends. They drill and tap the front trunnion of an ar180b and modify some parts. Check the forums on the armalite website, there is an expanation somewhere there on it.

Posted: 2/9/2005 4:05:09 PM I have been thinking of offering the service but hate to cut into Pete Fleis' line of work. Also 2 different methods have been used on the 180bravo to attach the barrel. The rifles I have threaded up to this point have been the later models without the lock nut on the barrel, similar to the pre-ban 180's. How many people are interested in the service? haven't set a price yet but under $100 for sure. josh@stormwerkz.com

The plan was to make 2 versions, one for the Ace sidefolders and one for the ar carbine stocks like the Vltor and SOPMOD. It may be a week or two before they are ready to ship. The adapters will be $35 each . Josh josh@stormwerkz.com
