So now all the ‘cool’ looking bang sticks are banned; anyone have any good suggestions for alternatives to AR/Cool looking Firearms? I know the X-95 is still somehow legal, but for how long? I’m not holding my breath. Plus it’s a bull pup - while I do love them, for speed rifle competitions I’m quicker with the traditional layout. Non restricted or restricted what’s your suggestion for both? I’d be looking for something I can put sights/optics/lights etc.. on it. Hopefully has a detachable magazine & preferably in 5.56x45 or 7.62x51. Other sized rounds are fine.

WK180 and WS-MCR are NOT AR-variants.

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.
