WK180 and WS-MCR are NOT AR-variants.

They ARE AR-180b rifles. That is why they are non-restricted.

These ARE both AR-180b variants. The term "AR style" that many people are using now days is as meaningless as saying "Ruger Style". AR was a manufacture/designer (ie Armalite), not a style.

They are AR180b's.

Which classifies them as AR variants.

The original post said something more along the lines of them being AR15-ish. Then was editted.

I wanted to make it clear that they are legal because the SFSS had deemed them not to be AR15 variants, and any suggesting otherwise, is wrong, and potentially dangerous.
