Another New Guy

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

Ah, I really feel at home now! I was born and raised in NC. Then took Basic at Fort Bragg in 1966. After Vietnam I moved to Phoenix/Mesa, AZ. And now in Boise, ID.

Another AZ boy ! 

I have a couple of 308 lowers from Quentin and a 6.8spc upper. (Super low numbers) Use to get a 5% discount but they stopped that.
