Mint Howa built with factory scope and sling. SN 610.
No magazine. Made a few on my own and ran a carbine match stage with it. Really cool rifle.

I'm instantly jealous. How come - even though it inspired several later designs - production on it (and the -B version) ended?

Lack of sales.
And to be honest, having shot my Brownell's retro "XM16E1" back-to-back with my father's Sterling AR-180, the AR-15 is better than the AR-18 in practically every way. Except the folding stock.
That would be the AR-180B which didn't long survive the setting of the AWB.

I have a Sterling that I got years ago for $900 or so. If you don't mind me asking, what did you have to give for your Howa?

It was meant to be an AR15 alternative for poorer countries that had limited manufacturing capability. Everything is stamped and simple to produce. In the end no one really wanted it. The only significant use it was was with the IRA.
Yeah. It is a pile of shit.
$1200 with everything shown.

I have a Sterling. One day, I will get a Howa just because I think it is neat they were made in Japan.
Thermolds aren’t bad for what they do, but nothing beats the armalite mags

Lol, that is the most awesome thing I have witnessed on the internet this week! Can you just imagine a consumer product company running an ad featuring an EBR like that.

Seconded. That was amazing.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
