We get a LOT of phone calls here at the factory from people with technical questions about their AR-10's. But, since we're not here nights and weekends, we've put together a special web page that can probably answer any of your questions 24/7. Just go to our library page on our website. There, we have the key characteristics for all of our firearms. There are also tech notes and complete owners manuals. If you want to know something about ArmaLite's history, that's there too. Here's the link:

Would you happen to know if Armalite plans on making a rifle in .243? If they are do you happen to know what model?

We do occasional special runs in .243. We're hoping for such a run in late Spring or early Summer. It will be an M-15. That's ALL I know right now. When I find out more, I'll post.

And... a shameless plug now... don't forget to sign up for our Twitter. We've been Tweeting newly instock items as they come off the line... and any specials... complete with the link to the appropriate page on our website.

How would a AR in .243 be a model M-15? The Magazine and mag well is to small for that cartridge.

You're right, I misspoke. It will be an AR-10. I was writing up an ad for an M-15 at the same time I was answering you. Here's some more stuff I've learned:
    flat top receiver & gas block
    receiver etched .243
    black furniture
    foward assist
    standard AR-10 bolt carrier group
    20" chrome moly bbl, medium weight
That's it for now.

Oh dang Ken....that was rich.... :woohoo: I'll give you an "A" for that one.... ;)

AR-10 in a .243, well hey I think that will really appeal to the Hunter types and give DPMS a run....

Since this is the Q&A thread....if I may Uncle ArmaLite...how is the M-15 situation, I am getting ready to order one I hope in the next couple of weeks.....any words for the class...
