AR10 BS Thread

Talking about build projects, so I just measured the gas tube length on one that I want to replace/upgrade the barrel. Carbine length what I need. Appreciate that info posted for me. Thanks.

I think barrel quality is number 1 key to accuracy.
On this particular rifle I changed the hand guard to free float and squared the upper receiver and it helped a little but still shoots 2" inch groups at 100 yards. A barrel upgrade from the last time I looked $70.00 barrel that came with the kit.
I'll look for a 16" Stainless and fluted on sale.

 

Aero upper and lower, nothing fancy at all, forget the 14” barrel brand. Fully loaded 25 round mag, stock sucked in, looks small, shoots great, love the Trijjicon, favorite optic in the arsenal

 

Well my stuff got delivered to the ffl today but they’re closed on Monday so sometime this week I’ll get it. I expect 2 trips as my background check almost always gets put on hold

 

Can't wait to see some pics

 

I was hoping but you know then the fun will be over. It’ll take me probably an hour to assemble then it’ll be back to waiting until I can get the next piece. Gives us something to look forward to. Idk if I’ll ever opt for free shipping from them again though it took 2 weeks just in shipping

 

This one will take me a long time too. I still have a few AR lowers and a EPC-9 lower sitting around. I need to finish one before buying crap for the others I may end up selling one of my docs the EPC-9 lower since I don't really see the need to SBR one. He told me he'd just give me his card and buy the parts to build it . Plus, I can save that spot for the EPC-10 whenever they get it out

 

Most of mine are pretty much done. I have a few odds and ends I may upgrade later but would like to tie up all the loose ends

 

Ffl booked today I made appt for tomorrow. I always get delayed on the check so I’ll fill out forms and go back when they’re done…………and the wait continues

 

Damn. You guys have to make an appt?

 

Just at this place. Most places no. These guys are wonderful to deal with Google Hanson Brothers llc in Culpeper Va. they’re 3 miles from my house why I don’t have any suppressors yet idk

 

The receiver is still in jail my background check k was delayed. That’s usual for me. I brought the other stuff home though.

 

I wonder why they sent a M4E1 LPK rather than a M5.

 

Hmm idk but I believe I’d be calling them. From my understanding the bolt catch is larger and the takedown and pivot pins are also. I believe I’d question them on that. If I have time tonight I’m going to compare as I have a M4 lpk in my parts from them I got as a spare

 

After reading this, I sent them an email. I never even noticed it until you just posted

What Parts Are Interchangeable Between AR-15 & AR-10? - Wing Tactical


Parts that are typically not compatible between the AR-15 and AR-10:

• Rifle Buffers: Most rifle buffers on the AR-10 are shorter and heavier than the AR-15 to accommodate the longer .308 bolt carrier group and the force from a larger round. This means they cannot be interchanged. However, the buffer tubes are the same length, making them compatible with either rifle. It should be noted that the buffer tube for the Armalite style AR-10 collapsible stock carbine features a unique length and only works with this model.

• Barrels: Because the AR-10 and AR-15 are chambered in two different calibers, the barrels are not interchangeable. The barrels threads and barrel nut extensions are also not interchangeable.

• Handguards and rail systems: Because of the barrel nut size difference between the AR-10 and AR-15, the handguards and rail systems are not interchangeable.

• Bolt catch: An AR-15 bolt catch is not compatible with most AR-10 lowers.

• Lower parts kit: A standard lower parts kit for an AR-15 will normally not work with an AR-10. This is due to the differences in the takedown pin, bolt catch and other lower receiver pins.

• Magazine catch: The magazine catch in the Armalite AR-10 features a unique design that makes it incompatible with the AR-15 or any other AR model. (Standard AR-15 magazine catch will fit DPMS style AR-10)

• Muzzle device: Since AR-10 and AR-15 are chambered in different calibers, most muzzle devices are not interchangeable, except if your AR-15 is chambered in 300 Blackout, then you might be able to use AR-10 muzzle devices.

 

I’m sure they’ll take care of that. Hell you might even end up with a free lpk

 

I'm just glad I noticed it now. I gave them my order number, and they should be able to see how many times I've ordered from them I don't think they'll tell me to pound sand over such a small issue. They've always been great in my dealings with them. I'm just glad I noticed it b/c I highly doubt I will finish this within the next year.

 

Oh yeah if you’d have waited it may have been more difficult. I really can’t imagine there is a reason they sent you that. From everything else be read and watched I was pretty much told make sure to not only get an AR10/ M5 lpk but also use the same manufacture.

 

At the end of the day I hope they let me keep the AR15 LPK. If I have to buy a M5 LPK, maybe they give me a discount on it.

Either way, I can use the AR15 one.

 

Was eyeballing this at the store/range today.

I get a discount on my birthday...which is next week.

 

I sometimes regret the can of worms I have opened with these things

And happy early burfday
