Here's my humble contribution. Josh's QD rail attached. I figure someone will ask...I've got the objective scope cover on order. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180bayonette.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180bclose1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180bclose2.jpg |
This is the same thing I was told about the bayonette lug. So we wait!? hinking.gif |

Ok, the adapter for the ar-15 type stocks accept either the rifle or the carbine stocks, they both attach by threading the buffer tube to the adapter. [email protected] |
woa? are you saying you can put ar15 stocks on an ar180? if so.... pics and more info... how does it attach? |

+1 on the nice job..... I got to get me one of those!!!!! |
|
Ok, it is going to be about 2 weeks before the adapters will be ready. We had an urgent order for picatinny risers that need to get out first. I will be posting updates as they happen. [email protected] |
I don't think we really kicked around ideas for that one. BTW - I have the 180B with the straight handle. What's the diff with it and the other "crank" looking handle I've seen in a few pics out here? |

| As far as I know all the 180B's came with a straight charging handle. Mine has the crank since I had a couple extra originals and 5 minutes on the mill herehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v716/josh54880/DSCF0028.jpg |
How about a thick rubber cover, split down the line of travel for the handle? |

Heh, that's exactly what I was working on, but the "stem" of the AR-180B's bolt handle is just too large in diameter. It either puts too much stress on the rubber, causing it to fail, or, if the rubber is sturdy enough to withstand it, it puts too much drag on the carrier assembly, slowing it down significantly. If you created a non-rotating bolt handle that had a flat, narrow, "stem", (look at pictures of the one on the Sig 550) this might be doable. |
You just had to kill the dream...didn't you??? We're not licked yet!

A-la the Stoner 63.....good idea!!!! At the minmum I hope to see the original style of dustcover again. Guys, there is some GREAT work here.....it is awesome to see so many devotees to the 180!!!!! Looks like this thread and a couple of others has Armalite listening. Armalite has done some great things lately! I was very impressed by their pre-no-ban offerings of flash hiders and such at the end of the AWB!!! Though I have been ( and continue to be ) very critical of the B model 180 (as many of you know ), and of the AR 10, I still want to give Armalite VERY sincere applause for their efforts in supporting those who like "different" things....and not just the same old fare. I truly hope Armalite comes up with the C model 180 that many of us are dying for and I hope they continue such great efforts of the behalf of shooters everywhere. |
...I wanted to breath smoke...
| Urban OPS I checked out your photos of the Ace folding stock and attachment plate to your AR180b, looks terrific! A number of years ago Ace discontinued the dedicated folding stock for the "original" AR180. I have seen a number of AR180 rifles with either badly damaged or missing folding stocks and I was wondering if your Ace stock plate for the AR180b would also fit the 1st gen AR180? I would be tempted to add another AR180 to my collection if I could install an Ace folding stock. Another item that might be of interest to AR180/AR180b owners is a front side sling "swivel" attachment. I have this feature on my modified AR7 rifles and Howa/S&W "police" shotguns and find that the slings are much easier to use. |

We are working on a couple of different stock adapters right now. one for the ace side-folders, another for ar-15 type carbine stocks and another that will allow collapsing and side folding. I will be posting when they are ready in a couple weeks. After the Ar-180B adapters I will look at an adapter for the early models. [email protected] |
You're like a tiny god. *bows down* |
Sorry I'm late, boys. I am the guy that you speak of so highly. To my knowledge I was the first person to put a POF USA rail on the AR180B. I have seen helped another Canadian do the same mod. I am the Volk in Volk Armory Customs http://www.angelfire.com/sk3/volkarmorycustoms/images/cgn/AR180B_feb05.jpg Mods to date: - Threaded barrel and A2 flash supressor - Reciever mounted Pic rail - Iron sights gone - Custom mounted POF USA P12X free floating RIS Doo-Dads - Eotech - TD vert grip - TD rail covers - Surefire 962 - SEALS Patrol sling - Not shown is an Isreali practice grenade, pointless fun h- Dust cover - Maybe an M203 or 37mm - Thinking of making an adapter to accept AR15 pistol grips Please feel free to check out my site, I have some articles on fixing feeding issues. I have never had a stopage in my rifle. www.volkarmorycustoms.com |
Yes you should..these darn American's got me out numbered...  Good to see you here Armedsask...5sub's gonna keep you busy!

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Sorry, I don't swing that way. I was looking at the ACE adapters, looks like a similar idea I had. My idea was to mill out a pocket in the back of the reciever, epoxy and screw in an aluminum block to mount the stock too. |
|
Just finishing a run of m-4 risers for some guys at the front lines and then will be back on track for the Ace and ar-15 type stock adapters this weekend. [email protected] |

I thought I'd try painting the inset letters around the safety. I have always admired this on other weapons when its well done. I think it turned out alright, though the pics are a little dark. Everyone PLEASE POST MORE PICS!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180bpaint2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180bpaint.jpg |
VERY NICE! Can we see the same rifle but in a few wider shots? |

The proposed Ar-15 type stock adapters, would it be A2 only? Or will there be a provision for CAR stocks as well? |

Ask and ye shall receive. Here's a pic after painting. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180newpic.jpg Another black gun, my Mossberg 590. If you can't stop the bad guy with 9 rounds of 00 tactical buckshot, it's important to have a sharp bayonet to throw yourself onto before the bad guy can get you. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180with590.jpg Note the desktop photo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/rolex/180DESK.jpg Urban Ops also has some pics on his Stormwerkz.com site.

Thanks! What did you use for the entire weapon, Lauer paint? Which colors? Looks really good. |

The adapters for the Ar-15 type stocks will be just like the rear of an Ar-15 receiver so either fixed stocks or collapsing stocks(vltor, crane,DPMS, etc ) will fit. I am sorry it is taking me so long to get them finished but a prior order of picatinny m-4 risers needed to be made first. Josh [email protected] |
Sorry Josh.......we can't forgive you.

Buwhahaha |
Who you calling a hoser, hoser? Take off, eh! Must have adapter now! |
|
Just finished anodizing the ar-15 flat-top risers in OD Green. This weekend will be dedicated to the stock adapters. The sidefold is first with the collapsing stock adapter to follow. Thanks for the million or so emails ! [email protected] |
|
The Ace stock may be used without the folding adapter, they have the same bolt pattern so you could have a skeleton or boom tube stock as a solid mount. I just picked up the barstock from the metal supply company. Will be sawing to the machinable size tonight and on saturday morning will be proving out the CNC program. [email protected] |
