Quentin Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Hello, all!I'm new to the AR-10 but not new to firearms, including the AR-15. Otherwise, I am a Vietnam Vet, retired IT/Network Admin and now live in Idaho.I'm just about ready to buy an ArmaLite AR-10A, the DEF10 no frills model. I've been researching for many months and like this model because it's plain Jane, inexpensive, high quality and ArmaLite. And exactly the configuration I want. It's a real plus that it uses the 1950s AR-10/SR-25/PMAG magazines. My first AR was a build using an ArmaLite upper, so I considered a 308AR build from PSA but the DEF10 isn't that much more to get a little more rifle (in my opinion). I like PSA and have done a couple 5.56 builds with their parts but this time am opting for my first factory built AR.You have a nice site here and I'm looking forward to browsing around!

Quentin Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Welcome from AZ !Too bad your set on Armalite. You could get a Quentin Defense AR-308. They are very high quality.Thanks, Mike!Yeah, I considered doing a Quentin Defense .308 build! In fact I lived in Gilbert, AZ back in the 1990s. And in the Valley of the Sun for 30 years before moving to Boise. Never driven by the QD storefront, will have to do that next time I'm in Gilbert.However I did buy a Quentin Defense US Army Edition billet lower a few years back and finished it off with BCM and Daniel Defense parts, then a PSA upper. I love that carbine! Especially since it has my name on the rollmark! 5.56 AR, of course. Edited March 9, 2016 by Quentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
