Well, I think I have between 2-2500 I put through myself, and it's a 1st gen sterling, and was well used when I got it. I would not be surprised if it had over 10k rounds on it.

Geez, my Sterling is about 40 years old, so I have no idea.

My 180B has probably had 500-600 rounds through it.

I shoot my AR-10s more than anything else, so my M15s and AR180s sit in the safe a lot.

So do my Garands, bolt guns................................
If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

I am not LARRYG36.

Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say.

Hmm, that's a good question about my Sterling AR180. I probably launch about 2k into mine.

I'm going to bet something like 2-3K minimum through my 180B

my 18 was a PD gun before I got it, back in the early 90's
no idea what or how much it was used, but I suspect not much

I have maybe a couple of thou down range,
not much time to shoot it in the past 5-6 years
I'm not dead yet!

My Ar-180B now has about 225 rounds through it. Runs perfectly!

I've got an original preban unfired Ar180 with the armalite scope any ideas on where I can sell it. I know what it's worth, and you just don't see many like this anymore especially with the scope. Pm or call me 214-957-0022. In the Dallas TX area

I've got a few hundred through mine. The only issues I've had are some FTE's from Wolf casings. The coating on the casings would stick to the receiver. Lubed the receiver liberally last time I shot it and had no issue.
