AR10T.com has enjoyed the incredible contributions of our visitors and members over the past 10 years! Being widely known as a friendly resource for AR-10 owners and prospective rifle owners remains our #1 priority!

Keeping a site like AR10T.com going involves a tremendous amount of hard work on behalf of our moderators who sweep the floors, take out the trash, and wipe the fingerprints off the windows. On the server side of the site there are bills to be paid which include the server lease, software upgrades and licensing fees, database programmers, and graphic design. This makes AR10T.com a very low budget website and the small advertising fees the site generates have never covered the costs.

This past week the site took a major blow when the largest source of revenue (Google Adsense) disabled the AR10T.com advertisments because the site links to sites which offer the sales of firearms and ammunition. As if everyday our 2nd Ammendment rights were not under attack, now major corporations like Google are doing what they can to squeeze all aspets of the industry.

Since being launched AR10T.com has been and will remain a FREE community and forum to read, join, and share your thoughts. Going forward we will be offering paid memberships for members who wish to take advantage of additional features and benefits and whom desire to financially support the site.

The new membership structure will offer the following levels:
  • Free Membership - Free
  • Club Member - $10/ 3 months
  • Supporting Member - $30/ year
  • Lifetime Member - $100 / forever!
  • Industry Sponsor - $499/ year (includes advertising)

Beginning Friday, April 5, 2013 you will be prompted to select one of these levels upon logging in to the site. If you would like to get the ball rolling you may select a membership level at anytime using the following link:

www.ar10t.com/site-tools/purchase-membership

As a special offer to our existing members please use the coupon "halfprice" to take 50% off your first subscription term.

Please keep in mind that I'm working hard to get this system up and running and identify any bugs. If you notice any errors or have any problems selecting a membership level please post a message to this thread or send me a message.


Many thanks for making AR10T.com the vibrant and enjoyable community that it has been for the past decade and for many decades to follow.

Warm regards,

Martin Lotz (mlotziii)
Site Founder

Other than subscriptions, if we just happened to have a few extra bucks to contribute to the cause, what would be the best way to apply it to the site and is there like a "pot" that could be contributed to just to keep us afloat while members consider taking the plunge?

I'm sure the transition might be a bit bumpy and I would just like to know - for good measure..
