Ok,guys, some thoughts here please.
I am very happy that armalite is offering the ar10T carbine.I was looking for one before I bought the 10t rifle and the a4 rifles I have now, and I am trying to think of an excuse to give my wife to justify this one. Lets see, it is lighter, shorter, so more maneuverable.Easier to carry on a hunt. 1moa for a carbine is outstanding.
downside- shorter barrel means less velocity so less long distance range(not sure the exact ballistics differences, which would be good to know). My T doesn't tolerate the variety of ammo that the a4 does and I assume the carbine will be the same.
hog hunting- I'm from Illinois and the only pigs here are in congress.So I am no expert.
But don't you Texans do most of your hog hunting from the back of a truck, and often at night? so why a carbine instead of a rifle?? And if for hunting hogs at night with night optics then the gun needs a top rail going all the way to the barrel to accommodate a variety of night optics and IR illuminator
Thoughts?
Well my friend, first off, you are going to need a bigger guncase..LOL if you are carrying all of these.. :lol:
Well just tell her that it is the completion to your AR-10 collection....NOT. Personally Fox, you should see if you could get a SASS carbine, like the one in the article in guns and ammo 2008 book of the AR-15...I think that would do you just right. But if you really went this route, you could add the LaRue Tactical Free Float fore arm to it for your NV equipment....Hell Id just love to have the upper for out to 700 yards, only have gone 400 with my A4C, but I am hoping to change that this year,,,,,oh by the way, you going to get that 1K range built this year.....I could be there in a days drive.....LOL

Uncle ArmaLite, I have a question to ask of you and ArmaLite, one that I am sure every owner here is curious about.....
Recently Magpul made a P-mag of the DPMS, KAC SR-25, the R-25 and LaRue's OSR and OBR. My question is, is ArmaLite going to work with Magpul to make one for the AR-10....I know of a few that went the way of the "opposition" just because of that fact, silly I know, but never the less...
I have talked with Magpul, via e-mail, as to if they are going to make one, they said "they would not confirm or deny anything that may be in the works". I have considered buying one just to see if I could modify it to work using one of my 20 round mags as a base or using the parts, followers and spring....anyway, could you shed any light on this....
Sorry to be a pain, just would like to know...
