I had one in the '80's and absolutely loved it. Sold it because I just had to have something else (can't remember what) so I'm finally getting around to getting another one. Just picked up a Sterling AR-180. Found one in a LGS for a downright reasonable price and I just couldn't say no. So now I once again have the IRA's "Widowmaker"...gonna be fun.

About 6 months ago I came across a 40 round AR-180 magazine at a price I couldn't pass up...now I have a rifle to go along with it.

They were pretty good, but the synthetic lower left me flat. But NDS makes a billet lower replacement with faux spot welds to give it that real AR-180 look. Slap on an ACE folding stock and you really have something!

But a decent real 180 can be had for around 1k, so why not just get the real deal?

I was stopped by a soldier he said "you are a swine"
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin
I bowed and I scraped, sure my manners were polite
Ah, but all the time I was thinking of me little Armalite!...
