Say hello to my little friend. AR10 - 04/15/18
Well, it only seemed fitting that I go out and buy an AR10. I ran across this little gem on GB for a good deal and the guy was local, so that was convenient as hell. I don't know a damn thing about AR10 rifles, but I figured the original Armalite was a good starting point. I know it's not as versatile as the DPMS pattern AR10, because I can only use Armalite mags, But the rifle came with 3 mags and they all work great. I don't mind steel mags for the 308. This one is chambered in 7.62x51 or 308w and she seems to be a shooter. Today I did some preliminary load work up with a few different bullets and a few different types of brass. Some of the brass was new and some was once fired from the other day.. The new brass was the Lapua I picked up on the cheap (56 pcs for $30.00). The rest was once fired FC and WW. Here's some of the things I added to the rifle:
PRS stock
Magpul K2+ grip
BAD lever
Griffin Armament Ambi charging handle
Ambi safety
Enhanced mag release button (Armaspec)
Burris AR 4.5-14x42 scope with Burris P.E.P.R mount
Things it had when I bought it:
National Match trigger
20" stainless match grade barrel
6-9 Harris bi-pod
I only shot 3 shot groups today, because I was getting rained out. Weather sucked. I will go out again when the weather is better. Here are the groups I shot while doing load development. Honest 3 shot groups at 100 yards in the rain. I'll try to list them in order:
168GR. Sierra MK bullets with AR Comp powder:
168gr. Hornady BTHP Match bullet with AR Comp powder:
PRS stock
Magpul K2+ grip
