I'm new to the AR10 rifle, I do have other 7.62 rifles, two M1A's and a bolt gun. I have lusted for the big AR for some time and last week while searching my LGS for any nice mil-surps I see this AR. It was a consignment gun with a reasonable price, my mistake was taking out of the rack. I did some on-line research that evening and decided to make a offer. Next morning I was smiling so hard I cracked my face. Just north of $1500 and I owned it.

ArmaLite lower, no FA, the two stage is as nice as any I have felt, previous owner had installed a Magpul PRS, TD grip and a gas buster. The Noveske upper has a 21" stainless barrel, SWS rail and a set of Troy battle sights. Came with two 20 round mags, one GenII and one older style. The older mag has a follower problem, it wants to tilt for the last two or three rounds.

I'm looking at scope mounts and well use a middle of the road 3X10X44 until I can afford a nicer unit.

This is a impressive rifle, I have a fairly large collect of stuff and this is definitely the best. Looking forward to learn how to shoot this at ranges it deserves. I limit my M1A's to no more than 400yds and mostly half that.

Edit, MODS, I see I put this in the wrong section, move as needed, I'm still learning this forum layout.

You've got a sweet rifle, and it should do well for you. My AR10 is the Armalite AR10B, sort of a nostaglic retro version to look like the original. I also have an M1A National Match with match iron sights, so the retro rifle appealed to me as a companion to an M14 type rifle. I like the idea of having two rifles side-by-side that recreated the 7.62 development in the 1950s. (I'm "old school".) But my experience with the AR10 is that it is very well made, very reliable, and reeks of quality all around. I think you'll enjoy your purchase. Keep us posted.

Thanks BMS. The hand guard is branded both Noveske and SWS. I'm pretty sure it's Noveske's standard hand guard for the N6 21" heavy upper. It has several attaching points for a QD swivel, I thought take has a nice touch. I wanted to go with the individual rail clips until I figured out it would be $150 for two of the clip kits. I'm going to step up to a higher quality scope so I need to save a few bucks, besides those clips don't make it shoot any better.

The PRS comes in ar15 or ar10 form. Just be sure and get the ar10 stock and you shouldn't have any issues using a end plate.
