Indeed it is.
I agree, way too expensive.
I can remember as a kid, going into the Dick's in our local mall and seeing the mini's in the rotating display case. Always thought they had a nice mix of tactical and traditional. Never could afford to buy one and then life happened and by the time guns were back in my consciousness, I had fallen into the AR scene. It wasn't until after the safe act and a gun store owner down south approached me to commission some brand art for his business that the mini14 came back into my mind. I bartered my services for a stainless 580 model. Fucking love it.

I love it when a plan comes together
I do not understand what the problem is if you have to open the upper to clear the jam, you have to remove the magazine, I know who has it installed, does not accept another magazine and the upper must be open for it to accept the magazine back
any way is not the only one in the market
The Gen 4 AR maglock that you were looking at would be pretty iffy. I don’t think it would go over too well. The law states “a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least one of the following characteristics;”...It then goes on to list all the features it’s not allowed to have in addition to the detachable magazines, one being “a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;“. NY law does not state anything about being legally allowed to own a semiautomatic rifle with detachable magazine only when you separate the upper and the lower. It strictly refers to it having the ability to have a detachable magazine, which if you’re able to separate the upper and lower and then detach the magazine....that’s a no go!

was a sample , but they have another version , and also another pinglock
i was interesting to buy a AR 15 ,ADD the locking device and transfer to New York , that was may question
It absolutely can be done. I build them all the time. Since you would never be taking possession of an AR that’s non-compliant, you’d never be in possession of an illegal rifle.

understand
The only reason I want to buy the complete weapon is because I don't know how to do it
if i knew i would do it myself
If you are really interested let me know. I can get you situated. We can build you anything you’d most likely want. Built and Cerakoted if you would want it a certain color scheme also.
It’s nice building one because you get more options of what you’d want on it. But buying one and just converting it is also an option if you don’t want to go the other route.

If you buy a complete upper and lower assembling them is easier than cleaning most guns.
The fixed magazine guns practically have to be reassembled every time you load one.
Assembling a stripped lower from a parts kit is a little harder, but it's still very easy, even your first time.

i understain ,but i dont have any tools maybe damege some lowers
I literally have all the tools to do the job correctly. I’m not going to say that people are unable to build AR’s on their own, because they can. But having all the right tools for the job and knowledge on building them is definitely nice.

help of course ,
maybe I have to get more involved
No problem at all. Do you have an idea on which route you wanted to go? Did you want buy a rifle and then have it converted or possible build one?

If you purchased a complete upper and fully assembled lower there are no tools required.
The procedure to combine the two halves is simpler than the procedure you will have to conduct just to clean the rifle after shooting it.
If you use a magazine lock for compliance, you'll be halfway through the assembly procedure everytime you load the rifle.
Installing some version of a magazine lock for compliance is pretty simple too.
If we’re lucky ( and have balls) revolution.

@vago It really all depends on what you want it for and what style you like. Here’s the contact info to my partner Sean who’s the owner of the FFL/SOT who you would be buying the rifle from. You can reach out to him and we can figure something out for you. Chromatic Coating & Arms 845-791-0597. You can also email him at Chromcoarms@gmail.com

will be greate
question , when you make your own rifle need to ping the mag , ? otherwise will be illegal?
You don’t have to. There are options to not permanently lock the magazine to the lower.

Thanks. I wouldn't touch a 180 series with a 10 foot poll, but the 580 is a damn useable rifle.
Still like ar15s mind you. There's reasons to have both. My 20" ar is one of my favorite guns to shoot...so is a mini.
The 580s have all been reliable and very capable for me. They made several improvements, including a heavy barrel that's extra beefy around the gas block. A very smart design, compared to some where the chamber and gas block portions are actually thinner....
Unfortunately I do not remember the size/thread pitch for the nut. I just took the mag catch with me and found something that threaded on without jamming. I also grabbed a small washer as well so the nut didn't dig into the lower.
No other parts needed. The original mag button and spring are in a small ziplock bag in my desk.
I specifically chose a mag with a removable base plate to help if I needed to clear a jam (on the advice of people here on the forum).
only thing I really would like is a rear takedown pin with a ring attached, for easier loading. But, as this is a range toy (for now), I'm not too worried.
