Malig8r Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I bet most of those get purchased by people that will keep them as safe queens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Would have been awesome if they put the charging handle on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Damn, that thing is nice. With only 60 made, they are gonna be gone... QUICK!After that, the price on resale will go through the roof... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Would have been awesome if they put the charging handle on topThat would be the cat's meow, but it wouldn't work with the removable carry handle.I think I remember (Westrom's) Armalite making some AR-10s with the charging handle on top right after they started the business, but maybe it was just a picture on their website.

Sudanese style handguards , trigger charged in the carry handle, brown furniture. I've got one, it's a fun rifle. They turn up used occasionally. Even has the Pegasus rollmarked lower receiver.

Sisco Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Looks like Armalite recycled some extra AR10T barrels and front free floating hand guards, some NM detachable carry handles, and other spare pieces they had laying around to make a commerative rifle. Not necessairily bad, but not a real accurate replica of the original. But It will shoot well, no doubt. $1799 for any AR10 T is a decent price and worth it.

blue109 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hey Charlie...someone on this forum had one of those and it looked sweet. Don't remember who or if it was a regular poster. That's what I was hoping to see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
