I have been considering the purchase of one of this company's rifles when I return home to the States. This action by them definetly makes that a wise consideration.
Companies like this, who take a stance and actually DO something for their customers, should be supported. I just wish more of them would go public with stances like this.

The company has a forum at their website. This would be a good place to voice your support.
BTW, Armalite also has been making a LOT of weapons used by our troops in the war.

I thought this deserved its own thread.

Saw one at a gunshow for about $700. IMHO, you are better off with an AR-15.

OK, here's a question. I have a post-ban Armalite M-15A2 that I bought for no other reason than because Bill Clinton didn't like guns. I've mainly used it to terrorize woodchucks around my hunting & fishing camp.
Aside from the obvious feature of being able to bayonet wounded woodchucks [that's a joke, son], can anybody give me any practical reason to go to all the trouble to convert it into a PPB configuration?

I like the simpler, cleaner operating system of the 180. Plus, the "B" model uses AR-15 mags and weighs only 6 pounds loaded.
Plus, an AR-15 clone nowadays would blow a $1000+ hole in my wallet, and I DO have to convince Mrs. Cut that this is a good idea...

I'd rather have an M96 or one of the new SR-25's.

One reason is because a postban rifle is usually butt-ugly. Second, some (like me) like the idea of "sticking it" to the Brady Bunch.
Lastly, well, it's kind of like why one would put fancy paint and wheels on a sports car.

The Second Amendment does not mention "need". No one "needs" a Corvette or a Ferrari, either. Since I'm going to use it for entirely legal purposes, the conceptr of "need" is a moot one.
However, such weapons are quite fun to shoot, are robust and reliable, and are quite versatile. They are also lightweight and easy to use and train on. Plus, the ammo is relatively inexpensive.

Hey, I saw the Average White Band in concert when I was in high school. I liked their music.

"M96 or one of the new SR-25's." A bit too rich for my blood. And I'm mainly going to use it for personal enjoyment at the range and for plinking.

Errr, this might be a stupid question but why would anyone want to have such a weapon? Errr, tell me what it is you think "such a weapon" can be used for that is different from what a firearm not covered by the AWB can be used for?

Why would anyone want to have such a weapon? Simple, to protect my family, home and liberties should the need ever arise.
Secondarily, they are great coyote guns out here in the west.
I use an FAL.

"And please . . . don't say it's for hunting." Actually, the .223 round is an excellent small-game round.
