Masakari Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 My background: USMC marksmanship instructor, Pennsylvania police, and ardent Second Amendment support. Not much more to say about that. I'm a gun guy. For many years I have wanted to get into AR10s as I have AR15s, but I had an M14 with lots of money into it, so it never happened. Well, this year I bought my first AR10 at a gunshow (ArmaLite AR10B, killer deal) and I was hooked. I have since sold my M14 and other spare (if there is such a thing) guns and my focus is on completing my next project, a S&W M&P10. I love the idea of light, nimble, and powerful rifles for general purpose use. While I will never ditch my 5.56 ARs, and in the event of an emergency thats what I'm bringing, a 7.62 AR certainly has its place. I'm very happy to be fully engrossed with the platform and look forward to giving and receiving knowledge and experience here.
FaRKle! Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Welcome! You're even using AR-10 in the proper context (we're known to be strict on that, the only AR-10 is Armalite AR-10 pattern, everything else is a .308/7.62 AR)! I see potential...Have you already bought the M&P 10? If not, you should try building one from the ground up. You should be able to make one that's even lighter weight and handles even better.
