wetncold Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Pic came from another board. Just trying to help him out. I have never seen this mark on a AR10 bolt. Not just Armalite, but any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Any additional info on the rifle? Was it a home build, or an off the shelf buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well, a little google-fu shows that it was likely a British AR10, that was sent to Portugal and then returned to GB. After the firearms returned to GB, they were stamped "Tormented" to show they had rigorously been tested. After the proofing the AR10's were shipped to North American, where gun laws allowed private ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 The proof should also be on the barrel... near the barrel nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's quite a bit of AR10 heritage. It should be an original top charging AR10. Definitely a collectors item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 It's GB's way of saying, "we issued this shiit out to our guys, they didn't fuckit up too bad, so we're selling it to civilians over the pond." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
