AR10 repair was created by GONIF
I bought a new AR10 and it did not function . Right out of the box it would not eject a spent shell .It was a single shot rifle that you had to pull the chargeing handle back every time to eject the spent shell .It took a lot of force to pull the chargeing handel . I cleaned and lubed it B4 shooting it . I sent it back to Armalite for repair. They said it needed the chamber polished and the gass block was missaligened .It came back and I had a chance to shoot it sunday . They did a magnificent job fixing it .I had them install a green FF tube on it as well . I thought the trigger was terrible and told them so , I had them check the trigger as well ,now the trigger is much better smoother lighter and crisper. The Armalite Repair department is outstanding.

Good to hear they got up and running..... B)
I had a small extractor problem when I first got mine....no big deal. :dry: ...
and I had the same great service. :) ..
turn around time 1.5 weeks...from drop of to pick up.. :woohoo: and it has worked flawlessly ever since.... :)
wish I could have been like you and had a few up grades done to mine...but I can honestly say I have enjoyed equipping mine and looking for new things to add...but other than one or two items...
It is just the way I like it.....simple and dependable... :) B)
and it's an ArmaLite...most of all.
