I love the site so far. I have been making AR 10 lower receivers (and AR 15's)for almost two years that fit DPMS uppers. I am prototyping a new design that will fit the Armalite upper and use the Magpull mags. I am making the matching upper also so builders can mix and match to build their perfet rifle. As soon as the prototypes are done we are ordering the extrusions for the rail so it will match the uppers.

I also made a couple of nice suppressors designed just for an AR10. They work great. They are not in production yet, the new turning center arrived just before my elk hunting trip so I did not start making them yet.

Very nice, I've been looking around for someone that can make Armalite AR10 uppers. I'm working on building one up and haven't had much luck finding stripped uppers lately. Would be interested in seeing how they turn out.

Our goal is to make AR 10's parts as available to the gun builder as the current Ar 15 is. We have barrels being made on Wilson match grade blanks and we are making the charging handles as I write this. I will post updates as they come.

I am not sure how many weeks until anything is ready for sale, I wont consider it until I have run them a lot to make sure everything is good to go.

Yep, thats me. We have the suppressors going on the new turning center by the end of the month. We have a great screw on model for the Ar 10 and the AR 15 but everyone wants a mount for it that acts as a flash suppressor when the can is off of the rifle. I still have to draw one up then re design the rear of the can for it.

We finished the AR 10 charging handles today and loaded up a few boxes of .308 rounds to shoot to test them out. I will post pictures within a couple of days of them.

This is just what I've been wanting.I recently bought a Larue 308 OBR lower and a couple of Armalite AR10 upper receivers.I modified the uppers to work with the lower and SR25 style mags.I have not completed the uppers yet.But,I would be very interested in another lower!Any idea what it'll cost?

Oh yea,Hello everyone.
