My Brownells brn180 and why I think you need one.

Obviously with a sentence like that you can tell that I really like my brn180 rifle. This post is going to be a overview of how I have my 180 setup and the pros and cons to the brn180 rifles.

First I’ll start out by giving you a complete breakdown of my rifle.

Brownells brn180 complete upper

Brownells forged lower receiver

Seekins precision ambi safety

Cmc 3.5lb flat trigger

B5 systems type22 p grip

Vseven mag release

Midwest industries folding stock

Mean arms take down pins

Slate black industries mlok covers

Magpul afg

Flatline fiber tiger stripe sling

Midwest industries iron sights

Modlite 18350 okw light on a cheap mount

Eotech 512

For magazines I tend to run various metal mags from brownells,duramag, and d&h.

Let’s get the cons out of the way first since there aren’t that many in my opinion. First is the price, as I’m typing this the same 16” upper is on sale right now for 879. The non sale price is 969, luckily you can find these on sale fairly regularly. That is a pretty steep price for a lot of people to justify buying one. I know it was for me when I got mine but I am very glad I did.

Second is going to be the barrel length selection. I understand why they have the barrel lengths that they do but at the same time it seems like everyone that owns a rifle of any kind has a certain barrel length that they like for a certain reason.

Third is going to be the weight. Again I understand with the brn180 being a short stroke gas piston operated upper it’s going to be a little front heavy and there’s nothing that can really be done about it.

The biggest gripe I have about my particular brn180 is the lack of a dust cover. It’s my fault I didn’t realize it when I ordered mine that I had ordered the brn180 sport. So make sure you pay attention to make sure you order the correct one.

Now that the cons are out of the way we can get into the reasons why this has became one of my absolute favorite rifles to shoot.

First of all as we all know any gun that folds is ten times cooler than if it didn’t fold. When running a 16” upper being able to fold that stock makes transporting in backpacks or even storing it folded to save room in your safe.

Second the ar18/ar180 action is very very smooth. It’s a very soft and manageable recoil impulse that makes follow up shots extremely easy.

I like that pretty much all your standard ar15 lower parts will work with the exception of some grips. As you can see in the pictures if you run the retro style lower then you’ll need to run a grip without a beaver tail or you’ll need to modify the grip.

The upper comes with a easy to use adjustable gas system so if you want to throw a suppressor on it’s as easy as turning a dial to switch from unsuppressed to suppressed.

So like I said in the beginning, I really enjoy my brn180 rifle and I plan on doing a 10.5” pistol version here in the near future. These are very cool guns and if you are thinking about getting into one I highly recommend it.

With all that being said, happy shooting!
