Brownell’s is rapidly becoming the One Stop Shopping Center for ARs. Uppers, lowers, parts, tools, suppressors, complete rifles both modern and retro- and they are still expanding their products.
The BRN-PROTO, based on the original AR15 design, complete with trigger style charging handle, prototype style front sight and 25 round straight magazines
Next up, the Brownell’s 4x Retro Optic, sourced from the original vendor in Japan. Mounts to the carry handle. I just might have to get one for my upcoming GAU-5/U build
Finally and most surprisingly, the BRN-180 upper. It’s an upper that uses AR type action that fits on an AR lower. Want to be able to shoot your AR with the stock folded? Now you can!
Boys and girls, these are The Good Ol’ Days and they just keep getting better!
Now if only Brownells would partner with BCM and offer complete C8 clones…
Very cool
Damn, the optic is already out of stock. I’d love to have one for my Troy XM177E2.
Brownell’s lists new items as OUT OF STOCK until they’re actually ready for sale. So keep your eyes peeled. As soon as it days BACK ORDER OK, jump on it.
Word. Thank you.
When this BRN-180 is available in a shorter barrel, it will be following me home…very cool and finally a reasonably priced alternative to the MCX. Now if they could make it in 7.62x39 and put it on a cmmg mutant lower…
I’m really digging that optic!
Looks like Brownell’s finally has early ejection port covers ready for production.
Dude, where you been? Brownell’s catalog has been THE shitter literary companion since before the interwebs and smart phones.
Same here, to a tee. I already have a Radian lower ready for it.
I wouldn’t mind a high-quality copy of the original AR-180. Always liked that gun.
If Brownells is reading this , shorter is better. I suspect that is already in the works.
Brownells deserves the recognition for recognition of the markets and the courage to invest. They just keep dropping cool products at reasonable price points.
The BRN-180 is bad ass and while I’ll probably buy one…I wish that upper came with an adjustable gas block for shooting suppressed. Still cool nonetheless.
X2 on an adjustable gas block.
Does the charging handle act as a brass deflector?
I have no fixed carry handle uppers and no desire to buy the sight and I am digging it.
I am really digging what Brownells has been putting out lately. I am very interested in the BRN-180, especially a shorter barreled version as previously stated.
