AR-10 Build

[MPrimo]

Well ... I always wanted one.

Armalite lower with National Match trigger, PRS Stock and Ergo Grip. National Match 308 upper with 20" stainless heavy barrel (I'm talkin' HEAVY), VTAC rings, Harris Bi-Pod, YHM adaptor, Badger Ordnance latch, Trijicon AccuPoint scope (5-20 x 50).

I bought the lower stripped and added the parts. Bought the upper complete and added a few pieces. Just got the scope bore sighted so I am ready to sling lead tomorrow.

Funny thing is I live in the Northeast were we are lucky to find a 200 yard range (my club has a 100 yard range) and now I have a 1000 yard rifle.

Going to thread the barrel and add a comp ... per CT law of course and maybe flute it as well to reduce some weight.

Here are a few pics:

That is a great looking rifle!!! You need to find a longer range to shoot at though!

Great looking rig.

Have one of the special run Arcom AR10s. Great shooter but heavy.

[MPrimo]

... this is very encouraging!

.7 inches at 100!



First time out after barrel break in and sighing in. I am not an experienced rifleman so these results are thrilling to me!

Mike, Really nice. Great Range Report.

Does your optics weigh as much as your AR10??????

[MPrimo]

Nothing weighs as much as that big fat barrel, Chief! It is not a gun I would want to lug around for an extended period of time, that's for sure!

[Grizzman]

I don't think I'd want to lug it from the truck to the bench.

While having the barrel threaded, you can probably have the barrel turned down some for approx $50. I had Adco reprofile my LR-308C's heavy barrel to .725" and it's now well balanced.

I had a .260 Rem upper for it for a few months with a 24" bull barrel (just like yours). It only shot marginally better than my 308 upper, so I sold it.

308 ARs are definitely fun when used in the long range precision role.

Wow. That puts my Ar10 carbine to shame.
