On a more serious note..... (re my earlier .22 TCM ponderings)
Anyone know where one might find parts for an AR-180?
Sterling as it happens. NOT A "B" MODEL. A real two railed metal lower AR-180 (boy was I disappointed in Armalite when they came out with the AR-180B)
No Gunparts/Numerich does not have what I need.
Would like to replace a bad take down pin.....sometimes called a front take down pin, but actually the only takedown pin on the -18 design. It has a captive spring loaded ball detent in the pin itself and spring and ball went bye-bye. Currently I use the rifle with an old Colt/GI spec conversion pin and collar for putting a GI spec upper and Colt Sporter lower together and while it works fine....it just ain't right.
I have had that -180 since 1977 and that has been the only problem.....that and finding affordable working magazines.
