Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to decide if I should attempt an AR-10 build or just buy one. One thing I can say, the market is just saturated with AR-15 products compared to the measly offerings for the AR-10. I don't think it's cheaper to build, but the one pro to building is that you get what you want to the letter. I don't know why, but for some reason, I can't find a single 1:10 twist barrel that isn't stainless steel! Stainless steel barrel isn't exactly a low key camouflaged component of the rifle! Where can I find a black or blued 1:10 twist 7.62mm barrel?

Thank you for your time

Jeff

Welcome.
If your only concerns about the stainless barrel are the color, there are very good coatings available to make it pretty much any color you want. The barrel on my sass is SS but armalite coated it black. so that part is doable. If you just prefer a certain steel (some swear by chromoly) there are barrel makers out there that can accommodate whatever custom profile,twist,material, & finish you desire.

good luck with the build.

Hi, Just FYI DPMS makes many AR-10s with 1 in 10 twist,However, I personally would not recommend that company due to my personal experiences (see my posts Worth the wait and Buffoons). Good Luck!
