beantown Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I know there's the AR10 pattern and the DPMS pattern. But what exactly would you consider the street name for this riffle? I've seen 308AR, AR308, and both patterns referred to as AR10. Then there is the SR25 and my favorite, LR308. And let's not forget the PA10 also. Then you have the different calibers of the AR10DPMSSR25PA10 rifle. Which brings the possibility of even more names. My next upper might be a 7mm-08. Does that make it a LR3087mm-08? lol So what does the collective say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 If I'm talking to someone our side the forum, I say "an AR in 308". AR10, PA10, LAR308 and so on are just companies trying to be different and brand they're product. Ill be be intrested in how your 7mm08 build goes that a hot hunting round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpete Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just call it a 7mm-08AR and enjoy the looks of WTF? on the faces of the people you are talking to. A buddy is tossing around building one in .243. The brass is a bit easier to find/scavenge for reloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be be intrested in how your 7mm08 build goes that a hot hunting roundI do the same on the forum shepp, we run the gamut of manufacturers on here. On the street it a whole nuther name. But which name lets everyone know what it is? Is there no common name?I have always been a big fan of belted magnums. And the 7mm mag is one of my favourites. (insert Elmer Keith fan) It's ballistics are great. Now a DPMS pattern 18" barrel in 7mm-08 is very interesting. It has great ballistics also. It's a 7mm tack driver. I only need accuracy out to 400 yards. Next on the list is the 300SAUM. or is it the 300 RAUM? :confused Any of those round are a cake walk out to 400.

Rsquared Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'd go with 308AR for most of the sheeple that you're gonna deal with. Once there, you can go with "Chambered in X (insert caliber here)". And then, a lot of them are still gonna think that you're talking about an AR-15. That's why they're sheeple afterall.

The large frame works for now unlit the M6 gets released. It's even being referenced as a large frame AR platform. We're talking 300 Win Mag large frame type platform. :EEK That's going to be a beast! 308AR does have a damn nice ring to it! :thumbs Excuse me while I go use a napkin and faap over 7mm-08AR upper parts. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guruofhotrod Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 +1 for Large frame/format ARI was just gettin to that - Salt Works is about to release their new M6 upper/lower and SI Defense has their new 300 Win Mag out so, I guess we're gonna havta revise our descriptions/terminology to keep up with things - maybe start a new thread for suggestions and a vote?

Robocop1051 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Might have to call them long action and short action AR's.I've built a few .338LM AR's and we just keep calling them "the big one". Looks like I get to scale down to a 300WM soon. Hopefully by summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaseFan9 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm with SS, I've always just called them "large frame AR's", but if AP's coming out with a long action set (which I've been looking for since I first heard of the BM36), maybe make long and short action divisions of the large frame category, like Robo sez.

Wolfgang1952 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I for one call my DPMS LR308’s AR10 clones. The 308 version was designed first and was called an AR10. I can’t help it that the army didn’t adopt it, but want something smaller and lighter. Then came the AR15 which the ARMY calls the M16 and that’s history. Sure Armalite bought the name AR10 so no one else can call them that too. Everyone that makes an AR15 type weapon makes them to military specifications. There wear only a couple hundred true AR10’s built and most went to Chile and Belgium non to the US ARMY so no military specs. So now everyone makes their own version of the father of the AR15, the AR10. I call my DPMS LR308’s AR10 clones. Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guruofhotrod Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) If I'm not mistaken, even the early AR10's had the "Armalite cut" versus the "DPMS cut" that resembles a scaled up AR15: Front receiver = DPMS cut, Rear receiver = Armalite cut - pic borrowed from KE Arm's post: http://forum.308ar.com/topic/6359-ke-arms-ar-10-80-lower-pre-order/ Edited January 18, 2016 by guruofhotrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 AR pattern .308 rifle.My understanding is that Armalite's AR-15 design at some point became public domain, so pretty much all AR-15 pattern rifles can share parts. The same is not true of the .308 AR pattern rifles (other than things like stocks and handguards). It would be interesting to see a detailed article explaining the interchangability of parts among the various .308 AR offerings.Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang1952 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think what happened is the mil-spec thing. All the major AR15’s are made to Mil-Spec. Internal dimensions and internal parts are interchangeable between manufactures. Everyone wants what the Military is using. Some companies have changed the looks of the upper and lower some to catch your eye to sell their wares. Insides still the same mil-spec. Sense there is no mil-spec for AR10’s and Armalite bought the name and patented there lower DPMS and the others just up sized the AR15 to the size of the AR10. So now we have the Armalite version and the DPMS version. No one makes a true AR10, they are all clones. Armalite doesn’t even make a true AR10.

slugger43 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I just call mine rifles................but you could always use this simple formula;LOL!Hey, JT.....Line 13 character 37 should be a lower case "m". What the hell were you thinking? Please try to be more precise..... LOLAnyway, I think long and short action is back to small pin large pin stuff. Maybe medium and large action? Or we go to AR-7...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) With the 338 Lapua Magnum ( or any of the Magnums that can be used with it ) , that makes a new frame model , a Magnum Large Frame AR . Colt bought the rights to the AR 15/M16 from Amalite & produced them for Civilian & Military contracts. Armalite AR 10 Rifles are not clones , the present company bought & own the rights to the original drawings for the rifle & like Colt , made some refinements to the base rifle . The DPMS & AR 10 are different rifles , they both have similarities , but different rifles , Just look at the Receivers. Not to mention ,Forged AR 10's & Billet DPMS , Lower Receivers.
