AR18 or AR180?

[Fyrtwuck]

Mine is an AR-180-B and I still have it.

It was an attempt by Armalite to resurrect the AR-180. It does not have a folding stock like the AR-180, but it does take unmodified AR magazines unlike the AR-180. They dropped production about two years after it came out.

Indeed! Hoping one pops up while I am out here.

The best chance you’d have at finding one is to go to the Wannamacher Gun Show in Tulsa.

AR180 auctions - about $1,800.00

Yep - that nice Costa Mesa was $1300. Like I said - stupid.
Oh - and I have a long list of regrets when it comes to passed-up gun deals. Some occurred on this very forum.

I think they are awesome man go for it if you want one.

Some other considerations. These rifles are no longer made, so parts could be difficult to find.
