I have a Costa Mesa 180 that has been a safe queen since I got it about 15 years ago. I got it because the price was right and I had always been intrigued by them. I guess I fired maybe 200-300 rounds out of it. Of course, you can only fire 55 grain 223- don't even think about a heavier round or 5.56. It does like 55 grain PMC. Also, mags aren't easy to get. I have 1 factory 40 and 2 thermolds. No optics, no replacement parts to speak of. For these reasons, I have been thinking about getting rid of it. If I'm going to have an older rifle of this type, I think I would rather have something like a Colt SP-1. At least i would have more versatility and the ability to fix it if I managed to break something. On the other hand, I have a modern AR or 2. Maybe I should sell it and put the $ towards something else?
