You've seen pics of the original preban. The new one has a fixed buttstock.

Appreciate the pictures. No, I wasn't looking at a pre ban rifle. Who but a novice could confuse them? I held my first AR180 20 years ago. The magazine I was looking at had a darker picture and the funny looking hump at the forward end of the buttstock looked like it was hinged. I knew that folding stocks were a no-no now. Wondered if they had found a loop hole to jump thru. Thanks for clearing it up. Is it me or do all these semi autos that they are selling now adays with the welded on compensators, etc., just look like silly copys of the real thing?
Any word as to whether they will be available with a 16" barrel?
I'd personally like any word as to when they'll *actually* be available.
As an aside - went into a gun shop across town perhaps a month ago.
me - "Do you know when you'll be able to get the new AR-180B?"
him - "ARs? Sure, we can get em."
me - "aeehh? AR-180B?"
him - "You mean an AR-15? We can get 'em"
and so it went on with shop guy refusing to believe that Armalite makes other than AR-10 or AR-15. I finally left when it turned into a call the guy in the back and say "Hey Bob (or Larry or whatever), this guy's looking for an AR- *wink* *wink* 180" deal.
*sigh*
If they don't start showing up before too much longer, I may also start doubting.

I hate when those gun shop guys act like we're the dummies. Yeh, if you shoot a bad guy in the arm with a 9mm it'll knock him down, but if you shoot him with a 45 it'll blow his arm off. These guys are so smart.
I want to see one with a 16" barrel and a real flash suppressor, not a megaphone.

Hey, guys,
I used to work in a gunshop and I resemble that remark. I learned a lot from customers, like:
The bullet comes out because the hammer hits the back end of the shell so hard.
The noise of a shot is made by air rushing into the barrel after the bullet comes out.
A .45 bullet will knock a man 20 feet but can be stopped by a silk handkerchief.
A .45 bullet won't do much harm because it goes too slow and you can step out of the way.
A 9mm bullet will shoot completely through a couple of cars.
A .44 Magnum hit anywhere in the body is instant death.
A .357 shot into a car from the rear will go through the car and blow up the engine.
Etc., etc.
I always appreciated getting the information, because without those customers I wouldn't hardly know nothing.

According to my dealer, the Armalite AR-180B is coming. Armalite had some problems with the after-market barrells not meeting their standards and had to hold back production. The stock will be fixed not folding. It should be an interesting weapon.
