In the coming months if it is still on Gun Broker I might possibly be getting an AR-180B and I was wondering since they don't have ambi safeties like the originals if I can use an AR-15 ambi safety on it? Or will those not work on AR-180 lower receivers? Anybody know?  If not does anybody know of any company that would make an ambi safety that would work on a AR-180B? Thanks.

The "B" lower is quite a bit thicker than an AR15.

.875" vs 1.125" wide so the safety selector on a "B" has a longer shaft.

Check with Rick at AR180s.com

Just picked up a clean 180B yesterday. It came with a Midwest Industries top rail. Very low round-count - the innards look new. Other than adding a red dot, this rifle is staying as-is.

Nice find! What did you give for it?

Nice light rifle. My 180-B strings vertically. I’m thinking about cutting the integral bake off and threading. My 80s AR-180 shoots quite accurately with 52 grain hollow point bullets.  The 180B has been a safe queen.

Way too much.
The seller wouldn't budge on his price of $1800, but I never come across these locally so I gave in to the ridiculous price.

Well, it’s not going to get any cheaper… I regret not picking one up at the LGS about 7 years ago, they wanted $600!

I remember when $600 was the average going price for them. It doesn't seem like very many were made, though.

The highest serial number I’ve ever seen was in the 2800 range.

Everygunpart.com has parts for these in case anyone needs any. They appear to have quite a bit of different parts too…
