Oh, and you're right about the aluminum barrels, they were steel inner barrels with an aluminum outer; just like an AR7 barrel. It was that ruptured barrel incident that bumped the AR10 out of the running for the US service rifle, leaving the FN and M14 to fight it out.

Oh, still remembering details...did yours have a chrome bolt and carrier? Did it have the cocking handle in the carrying handle?

Gene Stoner was working for the engine division of Fairchild when he designed the AR-10. They produced some armaments.

I have owned an AR-10 with slick black furniture and with the brown stocks that had the cross hatching, both made by Artillerie Inrichtingen of Holland for the Portugese Army.

I only own one now, and it is on loan to a friend, who wanted to check it out.

So then the yours is select fire...Okay, I thought there was a slim chance you may have had one of the ones I built...I guess the search continues. Out of curiosity does yhour Inrichtingen have aluminum or steel magazines, and does it have the grenade launcher feature?
