Good morning, folks.

I've seen this on the smaller .223 or 5.56 NATO caliber, but how about for the AR-10:
Can the upper receiver be swapped out with a larger bull barrel for varmint hunting?

Thanks,
Kestrell

You can not put a M-15 upper on an AR-10 lower and vice versa. You can gut other uppers to fit on the respective lowers though.

There have been things like .300RSUM, .240, and some others that I can't think of right now.

On the M-15 lower you can find uppers in .50AE, .458 SOCOM, 7.62x39, 6.8 SPC II, 6.5 Grendel, .22 conversition, 9mm.

All this depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend.

Sorry, let me refine my question:

Staying with the standard 7.62 NATO cartridge, can the 16" carbine barrel be replaced with a longer bull barrel for Varmints? It sounds like this is doable, just may cost a lot.

Thanks,

Replaceing a barrel can be done. Changing a 16" to either 20" or 24".

From poking around at some of the manufacturers sites and the pictures here I see that some sell a varmint barrel. So, not only can you change to a 20" or 24", you can get a nice big fat barrel, or "upper".
