Well I know that the Hand guard and some of the internals have to be for colt and colt alone...most bolt on stuff, like sights and such will interchange...they are a very HIGH MIL-SPEC weapon...some say the top of the line on that note...but I am sure MSH or someone else that has one will be able to pin-point the exact ones..PARTS...Hey not that I am knocking colt, if that was offered to me, hell I would jump on it....It's BLACK and it's an AR...what more can you ask... :woohoo:

I have to second MSH on .223 vs .308 concerns about capacity and weight. The whole design philosophy for downsizing the original .308 stoner to .223 was weight savings. It's intended for mobility and spamming a target full auto fire. That has a role in various military scenarios but when we are talking the civilian market, full auto is still restricted by the 1986 NFA list closure and isn't a player. At semi-auto the 25rounds of the ar-10 aren't at a disadvantage of the AR-15's 30, they hit harder at longer ranges. Civilians generally aren't as concerned with mobility and supply chain either so the weight savings aren't as important. Civilians also aren't typically planning a heavy/sustained squad assault requiring buckets of ammo but would be more likely to use a rifle to disengage on the run to get to a safer place, or defend an existing shelter where the ammo as already stored.

In an emergency I'd rather have the extra power and range and hunting capability of the AR10, though there's still much to be said for the fact that everyone and their uncle seems to have an AR15 and a case of .223

Its all about what the intended purpose of the rifle is.

Just to clarify, if you use the AR-15 receiver extension the CAR stock will fit with out the tube protruding. You need the standard mil spec CAR AR-15 tube, an AR10 buffer spring and a heavy buffer from www.heavybuffers.com . Basically it is the AR-15 stock set with an AR10 spring and a shorter, heavier buffer.

I'll post up some pics of the rig I have set up this way later...if I can figure it out.

How come every time a picture of that stock is posted the right half of the forum page gets cut off?
