/k/ - Weapons

Yeah most of them got send to Ireland.

just no B

have them reproduce the actual AR-180 and you have yourself a deal

>>325396

Hey, I like the 180b.

What's wrong with it?

>>325397

Not a fan of the plastic fantastic lower, and I don't think all of the parts match up with the AR-180

sure Nodak makes an actual lower for it, but it feels like the Tavor where you have to buy something new for the rifle right out of the box.

Just a reminder that Armalite doesn't have the tooling to make the AR18/180 any more, it all got sold to Malaysia(?) and was subsequently lost in a regime change

>>325400

which means for them to actually consider it we will have to have quite a few signatures, enough so they can feel safe that they will at least get enough to cover their initial investment and probably a better written petition than the one we have.

Would probably be for the best to start shilling the petition in places with more than 20 posters, maybe /pol/ since they claim to own guns

>>325401

Armalite probably still has the technical drawings for the tooling but you are right, there is a large amount of capital which needs to be invested by them which they aren't going to do with a petition of 100 signatures.

It would probably be easier for them to run a kickstarter.

>>325403

>Kickstarter

NOPE

https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prohibited

There must be alternative ways of crowfunding that aren't as cucked and PC as Nigstarter

>>325409

Someone made an open source crowdfunding alternative to kickstarter

http://www.selfstarter.us/

It uses Amazon Payments though

>>325409

indigogo?

You can't offer guns as a perk but I think perks are just little prizes for giving a certain amount

>>325380

What the odds the new AR-18s will replace the SCAR H within the army Rangers?

Need to post this on more than one site if its going to get 100 signatures…

>>325439

slap on some rails and a boot stock and people probably couldn't tell the difference

offtopic, but can we also make a petition for Ivan and friends to pull the rhodie camo out of their asses already?

polite sage

What makes the AR-18 so popular here? From my understanding, it's an AR-15 that can be made from stamped parts. I get the cheaper to produce aspect, but what else makes it unique?

>>325451

>From my understanding, it's an AR-15 that can be made from stamped parts

NO

It's an AR that is made of stamped parts using a piston system and no need for a receiver extension, and so it can have a folding stock that allows the rifle to be fired while folded without a metal stick shooting out the back and in to your side and allows the rifle to be more compact than the not really that compact M4.

Also it is the base for most of those new space guns with 90% more plastic and 50% more rails than the AR, and folding robot boots.

>>325450

I've talked to Ivan, he said it would be after Gorkas. He was half drunk when he emailed me, but w/e.

Why don't you put this effort into contacting you political candidates and try to force at least one of them to make repealing the NFA an issue? Most states have a primary soon for rep, and about a third have one for senators too.

>>325582

I've seen commentaries about the AR-18, both in english and spanish. One strike me: "ugh, I just looks ugly". I seriously want that person to step in a white hot steel Lego. Most people seems to rather choose anything because of the "cool" factor or how pretty or expensive it is (except with slavshit). Just look how many mall ninjas exist, how many shitty fantasy blades are on the internet, how mant tacticool faggots bury their shitty and cheap AR's with tons and tons of useless crap like holosights, laser sights, etc. They do that because they think that if their guns look cool, they'll be cool.

And here it is, this little stamped buddy. Almost no one remembers him, he's just a footnote about how the IRA really, really liked them. Yet the AR-18 legacy is actually more relevant that it seems at the first look.

>tl;dr the AR-18 is criminally underrated, most consumers are retards that go for shiny shit

>>325640

*it just looks ugly

>>325466

Quick question cause I'm an idiot. Doesn't that kind of mean it's kind of like an AK but with more of the AR's ergo style like the safety, mags and release

>>325640

I think the US government is to blame on this one, since they had already adopted the M-16 they never gave the AR-18 a chance, if they had it probably would have been slathered in rails for the tacticool children by now and we would be here talking about bringing back the AR-15. Sucks because the AR-18 is the better rifle, but history is history.

>>325645

i don't think AR18 was seriously submitted as a replacement to the M16. the design was to be sold to countries that lacked the tooling to make M16s. AR18 requires a bare minimum of milling and the stamping is easy if Armalite provides the dies.

>>325648

point still stands though, people go with what is popular. Militaryfags want the gun they are familiar with and people who want to look like militaryfags want to emulate them

>>325451

Cheaply made AR that has a piston and can into folding stock.

What's not to love?

>>325380

Why? There are superior descendants now.

>>325679

SCAR isn't affordable.

>>325643

Not like an AK (which is long stroked piston), is more like a hammer fired VZ 58 (short stroked piston) with a bit wider and less tall bolt carrier with a double horizontal spring guide set up.

The disassembly and overall construction is very well thought and efficient.

The AUG and SA80 rifles are heavily based on the AR18. The Scar took some inspiration from it (although it looks a lot like the MA Dragunov, I doubt they could have gotten their hands on one of those). The HK416/7 and G36 are more similar to the SVD short stroke action.

>>325680

The price on the SCAR is so fucking abusive. I mean, they must be wanting to recover the R&D investment and that's reasonable, but the production cost should be stupidly low considering it's an extruded 6xxx aluminium upper receiver with an injected polymer lower and no overly complex machine parts on the inside (not more complex than any other modern gun).

It's definitely very well done and thought out, the cycling looks incredibly smooth, even with the 7.62x51 version.

Aren't you burgers about muh capitalism and muh gunz? Then one of you should try to make a few of pic related in his backyard. If he can sell them for good money, then maybe a company will start to produce them. Then there will be a cheap stamped rifle in the market, and the AR-18 will look like a deluxe deal compared the Leader. So deluxe, it will be tacticool.

Oh, just slap some rails to the Leader. And I think it would look a lot better with wood instead of plastic, but that's just my personal preference.

>>325680

SCAR is actually an innovation over the AR-18.

A rifle closer in familial ties would be the ARX-100, or the upcoming MSBS, or the G36, which you can't have because you suck and HK hates you.

>>325692

FN price gouges civilians out the ass. Did you see their semi-auto M249 abomination? The real thing costs the US military $4K, and it comes with a railed top cover and handguard as well as a new bipod and adjustable stock and spare barrel.

The civilian version? It costs $10K does not come with railz, or the new bipod or stock.

Oh, and the $4K price is just when the weapon was first acquired. It actually costs closer to $3K now.

bamp

Maybe Century Arms can make an AR-18 out of melted down car fenders and put a cast trunion in it

(ducking)

>>325718

I'm so glad I showed you that.

>>325720

A semi auto only machine gun (not a rifle, not a smg, a fucking machine gun) is retarded as can be. Honestly, it deserves that price, it's just an expensive, useless toy, and anyone who really thinks it's cool and a pretty good idea, it deserves been ripped off by the shekel-thirst jews at FN.

*Let me post, goddamn Heatwheels**

>>325934

Century doesn't make any guns, they assemble parts kits.

>>325719

>SCAR is actually an innovation over the AR-18.

The Scar and the G36 have a lot more in common with the SVD than with the AR-18.

>>325720

Wew, that's a mark up if I've seen any. There is some truth to what Pedro says right here >>325952, a semi-auto "machine gun" (which, by the way, is an oxymoron) can't be considered as more than a range toy for the rich.

>>325965

Seriously.

At that point you may as well just go through the ATF red tape and buy yourself a real machine gun.

>>325719

It's all short-stroke piston bullshit.

If only the Masterpiece arms do not fucking suck dick.

>>325985

Such a shame about Masterpiece.

It's a sub-par rifle, and it doesn't even look like the AR-18.

(fuck you Hotwheels let me post)

>>326014

That's because it's based off the Leader T2, as Magyar strelok kindly posted.

>>325948

I'm not that much. Some government big wig said that they want to make the Hungarian arms manufacturing industry great again, and now I'm seriously thinking about finding some rich nationalists who'd be on board with giving me the shekels and connections to produce a few dozen of these rifles. Then I could send them to a trial, and finally we'd rearm the army in 5.56.

And I could use that money for R&D on that airbursting RPG-7 round.

Now, our military is ridiculously small and underfunded, so rearming them wouldn't make me rich, but I'd be proud that I've done something.

Say, it is legal to import dangerous salt rifles to Burgeristan?

>>326079

Nope, "assualt weapons" can't be imported. Though rifles with one feature can be I think aka the SKS because it just has a bayonet and no other scary features.

Rifles have to be imported in some sort of "sporting" configuration, just look up a siaga as a good example. Or as mangled parts kits.

>>325952

I kind of wanted one as decoration. Honestly, for $10k, you can get an M240B replica that's much more faithful and makes a great display piece.

I wonder what my other options are. I really want to have one so I can bore people with MG facts. I used to have a major boner for the M240. It was way more interesting to learn than the M4 and I was really good at it. Fuck, I was the best gunner in the entire company. Then things changed, and then I got old. And now I'm not sure I could use it properly. It's really a tragedy when you think about it.

>>326187

>>325718

Was the Leader T2 any good? I know their business went to shit when Australia went no fun and their contract with Luigi Franchi fell through.

>>326189

Ian and Karl ran a 2-gun with it and the MPAR-556 reproduction

>>326187

I'm pretty sure, like 95%, it's okay to import "assualt" furniture. Usually they just get someone here to make it though.

Parts kits imported usually have no receiver in them, or have one that is destroyed partially. As the receiver is the part that is the "firearm" in the US. Usually people build the parts kits on American made receivers to get around retarded shit like 922r (look it up for a glimpse of full retard)

>>326195

The furniture and miscellaneous parts can be imported. It's just the receivers that will need to be fabricated in 'Merica unless in sporting configuration, as you mentioned.

>>326259

Nice, but I would be mildly afraid that people would hear Loda as oppose to Lotta. Which of course could lead to some confusion, or revulsion. As loda cars sure don't have a good rep here.

I'd say that because with my southern accent Lotta really sounds like Lod'a when I say it out loud.

No sticky from mods, so I figured I'd keep the thread bumped with /k/ humor

>>326190

>>326277

The problem is a hollow pin the use on the bolt for the firing pin.

Simple fix is to fabricate your own out of tool steel with a drillbit.

MPAR 556 Gen2s should have the wolff spring already installed and the new firing pin.
