AR10T Model 10TBN Question was created by bigdtd
This is the model with the 24" stainless barrel. It doesn't show up on the current Armalite site. There is a 10TBNF with a 20" barrel on the site. Is the 10TBN still in production or is this an older model? When was it manufactured? I have a new one being delivered Friday and am trying to find out as much as I can. I will look at the date on the barrel when I get it but I wondered if anyone knew about this?
Thanks!!!

Nice rifle,..........I have one!

Production of the 24" barrel ceased in 2009. My barrel is
stamped 05/08.

Well they shipped me the 10TBNF with the 20" barrel. This is the current model on the Armalite site but at Buds they had the 10TBN listed with the 24" barrel as the one for sale. I am OK with this gun as the fit and finish are beautiful. I took it apart inspected and cleaned it and lubricated as directed in the manual. I just think that Buds would have the website info match the gun they are shipping. I wrote them a note about it as the features listed did make me buy the gun. I hear they were a class outfit and I am sure they will make it right somehow. If I am spending my hard earned cash or credit, the gun I get should match the advertising.

I ended up putting a Pentax Whitetails Unlimited 6.5X20X50MM on it and sighted it in last weekend. The last 5 shot group could be covered by a quarter at 100 yards. I was using the cheap Federal 150gr FMJ. I have ordered some Federal Gold Match 168gr and I can't wait to see how these shoot.
This thing is a tack driver so far with 40 rounds through her.
I have the AR-10T with the 20" stainless steel barrel.

Buds ended up giving me a $50 gift card for their mistake in the listing. I am satisfied with their response. I would buy from them again.
