BRN-180 Part 2
A Look at the additional additions and details of my Retro-Mod Rifle.
The idea of retro-mod rifles have really exploded in the last couple of years. Be it for nostalgia, or to make a clone of the equipment used by military or law enforcement of mentioned eras gone by with tasteful modern additions, it’s a market people are interested in. Brownells used this idea of Retro inspired modern rifles with the BRN180. A modern take on a classic. Their vision of what the AR180 would have evolved into, had that platform had the popularity of the AR15. It might seem sorta backwards on this concept, but my idea was to be able to take a platform based of a rifle I wanted and couldn’t afford, and give it the retro styling cues to fill that void. The BRN180 filled the void and need of an AR180, and here are the accessories I used to give my rifle the look I wanted.
“Retroing” a Modernized Idea
Well start with stock. Brownells offers an AR180 style stock that is a nice looking piece. But when Midwest Industries released their AR180 style stock, that featured a trapdoor it was the one I had to have for this rifle.
The Trapdoor and contents I’ve chosen to carry.
Packaged and sold by Midwest Industries, this stock is a joint venture between MI and Manticore Arms. Per the specs supplied by MI on their website, the trapdoor stock features the main body made of a fiber reinforced polymer. The length of pull with a 1913 adapter to an AR15 lower is the same as the original AR180s. The trapdoor as seen above will hold a standard M16 cleaning kit and a small bottle of CLP. The only downside to the trapdoor is, it is advertised as not water-tight, and they suggest if you have something you want kept completely dry during a dunking event, put it in a bag. I haven’t tested it that hard in rain yet, but that is something I have the intent to do in the future.
The Midwest hinge, attached to a KNS adapter for AR15s
The hinge is made by Midwest. Made from 4140 heat treated steel, it attached nicely via 1913 rail to the KNS adapter I have in place of the buffer tube in the UnBranded AR lower I use, and has a nice spring and lockup when in the ready position.
Next up is the optic I chose. The original AR180 scopes used were a 4x, that looked very similar to the carry handle scopes of that day. I opted to go with a Primary Arms GLx 2x prism scope. One thing I love about the PA optics is the ACSS reticle, and this scope to me was a modern update that flowed with the overall mix of modern and retro I was going for. The only thing I’m going to add to the scope, will be a QD adapter. That way getting to the Magpul Gen 3 BUIS will be quick and easy.
The sling is a USGI M16 sling, attached to an A1 grip the same way it was on the M16, and attached to the MLok rail via a GI style MLok sling adapter just in front on the handguard.
And now to what has become my favorite accessory to this awesome rifle.. the Handguard. The part that gives this rifle alot of its retro looks, while keeping the hand protect form heat sustained from rapid fire. The MLok floated handguard is nicely made on the BRN, by Midwest Industries, but when firing a lot of consecutive shots, mag after mag, it heats up. This handguard remedies that. Made and sold by AR180parts.com, it is 3D printed from heat resistant ASA filament. When it comes it’s in two pieces. It’s constructed in a way, that it slides over the rail and is secured via MLok. You can see the faint line where the two pieces meet up. When it comes it also has the layer lines prominent. I ended up researching, and discussing it with the manufacturer, to ultimately “weld” (glue) the two pieces together. I then painstakingly water sanded the layer lines out, using paper ranging from 180-2500 grit in steps, giving it the slick look that Vintage M16 and AR180 handguards have. These come in 3 different lengths, from short all the way to a full rail length. Mine is the AR16 inspired handguard.
Overall this rifle is easily becoming one of my favorites. The addition of the accessories I chose, I feel gave it the more retro vibe I was seeking with modern materials, reliability, and features. If you have any interest in the stuff pictured, Check out Brownells for the BRN180 upper, stock and BUIS; Primary Arms for the GLx 2X Prism; and AR180parts.com for the handguard. I’ll link them below.

Product Spotlight… Midwest Industries Combat Handguard
We live in such a wonderful time when it comes to the shear amount of options available to us. Not only are there countless firearm manufacturers, but the amount of aftermarket support is mind blowing and sometimes even daunting to decide upon which parts we want to throw on our new firearm. Hand guards for the AR style rifles and pistols is definitely one of those categories that can make your head spin. Just one look at this category over at Brownells and you can have hundreds of options at your fingertips and with the Brownells Edge program shipped to your doorstep within 2-3 days. One of the manufacturers that I’ve been fond of for well past a decade has been the good folks at Midwest Industries. They offer parts and accessories for many weapon platforms, but are also heavy into parts and accessories for the AR platform specifically. Recently I had the need for a new hand guard for a rifle project I’m working on, so I picked up the 14” Midwest Industries Combat Rail from Brownells.
The hand guard arrived in a matter of a couple of days. My plan was to replace the factory hand guard on my recently acquired Ruger SFAR .308 AR rifle. One thing that helps to set Midwest Industries apart from some other hand guard manufacturers is that they include everything that you will need to install your new handguard, including the barrel nut wrench which some manufacturers, especially one that starts with G, make you purchase separately. The hand guard comes in a plain and simple cardboard box with their logo and Made in the USA stamped on the side. One the inside of course is the hand guard, the barrel nut, the barrel nut wrench, instructions as well as some Midwest Industries logo stickers. They also include a 5 slot MLok picatinny rail section to get you started with mounting your accessories. Hardly any hand guard manufacturer includes this either.
The handguard itself is solid! Weighing in at a tad over 10 ounces for the 14” version, it’s lightweight with a full rail across the top, QD sockets towards the rear as well as anti-rotation tabs which should be standard by the year 2023, but sadly are not. The rail has MLok slots at the 10,9,7,6,5,3 and 2 O’clock positions. Most any where you want to mount something, you can do so. I can see why they named this hand guard the Combat Rail because it is robust enough for combat. The barrel nut uses a groove system with 2 bolts locking it into place and the anti-rotation tabs meet up nicely with the receiver.
As with Midwest Industries parts I’ve used over the years, this one exceeds expectations. I can see why they have been successful as long as they have been and companies like Brownells continue to carry their products. In many ways this handguard is as robust and provides the quality one would expect as some handguards costing 2x as much. If you’re looking to upgrade your handguard to something better, you owe it to yourself to give this handguard from Midwest Industries a hard look.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — The Army’s new rifle, automatic rifle and fire control provide a more accurate, farther reaching and deadlier combination of weapons than a squad or platoon currently carries.During a September media event held at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland by Program Executive Office Soldier, participants shot both the Next Generation Squad Weapon XM7 rifle and the XM250 automatic rifle — the Army’s replacements for M4 and M249 Squad Automatic Weapon for the close combat force. That group includes infantry, scouts, combat engineers and special operations forces.At the event, officials announced a unit in the 101st Airborne Division had received the weapons that week and would undergo initial training on the weapons later in the month, followed by limited-user tests in October. A squad from the 75th Ranger Regiment will also participate in testing the weapons.Primarily, they’ll be evaluating how small units and soldiers employ the weapons, what adjustments they make to their kit and procedures, and how mobile they are in a side-by-side comparison with the legacy M4 and M249 SAW, said Lt. Col. Micah Rue, the product manager for weapons at PEO Soldier.The first unit equipped will also be in the 101st Airborne Division. That’s happening in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.The XM250 is a belt-fed, air-cooled, lightweight, gas-operated, select fire, suppressed light machine gun that fires from the open-bolt position.The XM7 is a piston-driven, modular, select fire, magazine-fed, suppressed rifle. The M4 is a carbine version of the original M16 rifle. The new rifle has ambidextrous controls, an AR-style charging handle and a left-side charging handle. It comes with a two-position adjustable gas valve, collapsible folding butt stock, match-grade two-stage trigger, free-floating MLOK handguard and a full Picatinny rail system.The trigger requires extra pull for firing — a safety feature.The MLOK handguard and Picatinny rail allow for accessories to be added to the weapon such as aiming lasers and foregrips.Both weapons include quick-detach suppressors that reduce visible flash and sound and also decrease gases released that flow back to the weapon user, according to PEO Soldier.The weapons fire a new 6.8mm “intermediate caliber” round, and both use the 1-8x magnified XM157 fire control, or rifle optic, that comes equipped with a ballistics computer to provide aiming assistance to the shooter.The optic runs on two CR132 batteries and operates for 250 hours on the low power mode setting.While the aiming assistance provided by the fire control is evident, as seen by participants on the range, it doesn’t eliminate the need for marksmanship training.“The fundamentals of marksmanship remain the same, even with this new weapon,” said Lt. Col. Trond Ruud, product manager for small arms fire control at PEO Soldier.The XM1186 general-purpose ammunition in 6.8mm builds on enhanced-performance round work done over years with the 5.56mm. Soldiers will also receive the reduced range, blank, tracer and marking rounds.The reduced range rounds are made so soldiers with the Next Generation Squad Weapon can fire on existing ranges designed for the 5.56mm. The marking rounds provide force-on-force shooting, like the chalk rounds used with weapons for decades.According to PEO Soldier, some of the improvements of the 6.8mm over 5.56mm include:Dramatically improved hard target performance.Improved, consistent effects against soft targets and close-quarters battle performance.Significant increase in range of consistent effects against all targets.Extremely effectiveness against a wide range of targets — a true general-purpose round.Maintains a lead-free projectile.On a range dotted with reactive, human silhouette targets at intervals between 50 meters and 500 meters, participants shot magazines in seated and standing positions from the XM7 and seated on a bench with the XM250.The optics setup and 6.8mm trajectory meant the weapons fired flat with little to no optics adjustments out to 300 meters.
Beyond that distance, the shooter could simply press a button on the XM157 optic or on a handrail accessible control that would instantaneously provide three dots to adjust the aim point.The 10-year contract for the Sig Sauer weapons systems has a ceiling value of $4.5 billion; the cost ceiling for the Vortex Optics/Sheltered Wings optic is set at $2.7 billion.The XM157 is a magnified, direct-view optic with an integrated laser-range finder, digital compass, environmental sensors, visible and infrared aiming lasers, ballistics solver, and digital display overlay with wireless communication, according to PEO Soldier. The device can be loaded with any ballistics configuration in the Army’s arsenal or future ballistics data to provide the same capabilities on other small caliber weapons systems, officials said.Both weapons were suppressed. Shooters had the option to fire the XM7 suppressed or unsuppressed.In a demonstration prior to participant shooting, a soldier fired the XM250 on bursts through cinder blocks and struck the target behind the blocks at about the 300-meter range. Rounds pierced the cinder blocks and struck the target.In a side-by-side comparison, the SAW shooter fired at the blocks; only one round partially penetrated the cinder block but didn’t have an effect on the covered target.That demonstration is an example of one of multiple efforts that drove the push for a new round for squad-level shooters — a more lethal round on target with further reach. Or what Rue called “turning cover into concealment.”The capability will deny protection in certain terrain, meaning adversaries can’t consider themselves safe simply by hiding behind a wall.The 6.8mm is built around a government-designed bullet, which the Army Marksmanship Unit helped create, in a casing that provides considerably more powder for greater velocities than the existing 5.56mm. The 5.56mm round was brought into the force to provide a higher volume of fires with an easier recoil for closer engagements, a shift of more than half a century of .30-caliber rounds dominating the squad firepower from World War I through the Korean War.But the round, designed out of the .223-caliber varmint hunting round, was originally intended for small game shooting and has had its critics, as has the M16 and its variants since its adoption in the 1960s.Feedback from soldiers during combat operations in Afghanistan and a 2017 small arms ammunition configuration study provided support for an intermediate caliber option.According to PEO Soldier, key takeaways from that study include:Aim error reduction has the highest impact on performance.Caliber isn’t as important as once believed; it is a secondary performance driver.Fire control is key.Advanced bullet technology matters.Ballistic energy on target provides better lethal effects.In the early 1900s both the British and Japanese militaries used a 6mm-range caliber, which is most comparable on the civilian side to .270-caliber ammunition. The weapon is heavier — 3 pounds more than the M4 — and the felt recoil is slightly more than the M4. But even with minimal familiarization, the accuracy was as good at close range and better at ranges beyond 300 meters than with the M4.But the M250 is 2.7 pounds lighter than the SAW. Troops will carry fewer rounds with both new systems — 140 for the XM7 compared to 210 for the M4, and 400 rounds for the XM250 compared with the 600 rounds for the SAW.However, lethality experts in the Army have repeatedly said the increased effectiveness and accuracy of the weapons and round will mean soldiers can fire fewer rounds with the same or better results.A standard XM7 load will include seven magazines. The reduced rounds will free up space on soldier kit. The Army has produced new gear carriage systems compatible with the weapon. That’s another piece of what developers will be watching as soldiers test this out — how does it affect the rest of their kit and how they perform, Rue said.During the recent
range shooting event, an Army Times editor successfully hit targets with the XM7 on mostly first, sometimes second shots, both seated and standing.As units continue to test the weapons, the Army has scheduled a cold weather test for early next year, followed by a tropics test, then a hot weather test. Operational assessments of the systems are planned for early fiscal 2025.
