I have an AR-10T that I bought new several (5?) years ago. The information indicated that it had a 26" barrel. This rifle came without forward assist, and with two Gen 1 magazines. The barrel was heavy stainless, and the for end is a solid free-floating aluminum tube with no cut outs or change in diameter. I recently decided that the weight of that barrel made the rifle too muzzle heavy and wanted to modify the gun. While making changes, I decided to go to the Super SASS configuration. I talked to the technical services supervisor and he mentioned that there was a kit for the 10(T) to change the gas system to that used on the Super SASS. It includes the front gas block, the adjustable gas system and a free floating quad rail setup (Part 10109600KIT, $485). I ordered a complete top end for the AR-10(T) with the 20" heavy stainless barrel, the Kit, a 10 pack of new 20 round magazines and the Magpul Butt Stock. I also ordered from another source the Harris Bipod and the ARMS 32 rail adapter. I have two sopes that I had used on the original rifle, a Nikon 6x18 (a little fussy about eye placement, but nice and crisp), and a Leupold 3.5x10 Vari-X III. The final product will be a Super SASS except for the unthreaded 20" stainless barrel.

This left me with a 26" top end without forward assist. I am now trying to get an L10B complete lower to make up a complete target rifle. This lower has the standard two stage trigger. I also ordered the upper receiver with the forward assist. I plan to change out the upper receiver when the bolt carriers become available again as the bolt carrier in my original (T) was smooth without the ratchet cuts. I have had problems with an original Colt AR-15 which did not have the forward assist. Cleaning and leaving tha chamber dry, sometimes after only 20 rounds or so I would be stuck with a very inefficent club. I haven't had any problem with the late AR-15s, a hundred to 200 hundred rounds and cleaning after shooting leaves the forward assist unused.

Is there anyone building barrels for the AR-10 in other calibers? I have seen the very expensive magnum top ends or rifles. The .338 would be nice, but ArmaLite doesn't have any barrels available.

Thanks for the nice website!

Hi! Just found this site! Been running an AR15 for years, after watching 1 out of 3 or 4 rounds keyholing at 600m I decided I needed .30 cal. :D

Looking to build a good AR10 soon.

Hello everyone.
My name is Rich and i'm the proud owner of a New, ArmaLite AR-10 A4 Rifle with the Green furniture. I've had it about a week now and just received the iron sights yesterday, i can't wait to get her out and sight her in. I bought the detachable carry handle/front sight set as well as some spare springs, parts and alot of Gen II mags. I just found this site searching the net and figured i'd check it out.
