That’s actually a CMMG rotary delay upperOK, the AR 45 still has me grinning! I've got an old CNC Guns grease gun mag lower with a Macon Armory DI upper that I dearly love. It was one of Rudy's first DI systems and he's come a long, long way since then. After the DI I just don't care to shoot a blow back AR, but I love seeing others do it.
Trust me… got plentyI'd like a rotary delay to play with, but y'all are missing out on the real AR... (sorry, crummy cell-phone pic...)
Costa Mesa, 3-digit SN... Sadly the optic is not Armalite...As an owner of 1 of 500 original Costa Mesa AR-18s (serial range #1000-#1500) that Armalite sourced Apex match barrels for somewhere around 1962-1964 in order to make the market requirement for further Army and Marine testing, I can say that I know exactly what @GeneT45 is saying... the real AR!
Is yours an Armalite (not many made- 3000 maybe) or a Sterling (widowmaker, 30k units imported to US) or a Japanese contract Howa (also 30k units imported)?
The radial delay softens up the recoil a lot from what I hear and is great in the 45. The 10mm... not so much. the lugs self destruct.
The AR180 has a big following. I've not had any experience with them, but those that have 'em love 'em.
