ar10....what to buy

First off, what are you going to with it? To use the scope you described at 200yds is literaly point blank range with the AR-10 as the rifle is designed for 600+yds. See if you can find a 'hand me down' scope and play with it for a while. A 3x9, or 4x12 will serve you well. The AR-10 platform is more recent than the AR-15 and the ArmaLite version has a greater commonality of parts with the AR-15 more so than with any other brand. The Armalite AR-10 uses converted magazines from the M-14 rifle and sells conversion kits (should there be a need in the future). ArmaLite sells a bullet proof one piece scope mount that puts the scope at the same eye level as the iron sights and comes in 1", and 30mm rings. The AR platform is such that many people buy just the empty upper, and lower receivers and start building from there. Changing parts is what the AR series is all about. As I write this I have 'one' rifle, with 2 butt stocks, 3 uppers(A-2,(T)), and am building a National Match using a Schnieder 5 groove polygon barrel. The National Match trigger from ArmaLite is very safe and reiable but may need to be sent back to ArmaLite to be better fitted together. I clicked on your trigger word and it sent me to Brownels. I suggest that you start and get familiar with ArmaLites then go from there. The NM and the Tacticle trigggers use the same exact parts, they are just configured differantly. Now, what was the question??
