Charlieboy Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi please can anyone help. I have an Armalite AR10T single shot rifle. Can my existing bolt be used if I go down the route of Gas piston as opposed to a d.I system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Sig 716 piston rifle and a standard AR-10, hands down the Armalite is a more reliable, accurate, and pleasant to shoot rifle.

jtallen83 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Why is the 10T a single shot? Edited February 25, 2018 by jtallen83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Its single shot for UK stringent gun laws. upon stripping down bolt it appears that the bolt carrier key has been ground off short and the three gas rings are missing. Bolt carrier looks the same. It might be easier to convert to Direct impingement route. links for best place armalite spares welcomed and any advice!!

unforgiven Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 If you changed the BCG won't it go semi-auto and violate the law there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what your saying is you’d like us to tell you how to make your rifle illegal in the UK, IDTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I am waiting for my green card . This single shot is a beaut was just thinking was it worth selling it in the UK and buying new in the states or was it worth converting if it was easy I would bring it back to the states when I move over here permanently with the rest of my rifles.

Just sounds fishy sorry man, but can’t be to safe these days. Just going off the cuff but I bet trying to import it isn’t worth the hassle honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Shame, as an AR10T is an awesome rifle. I would contact Armalite tech support via email, and describe the situation to them. They can tell you what you need and how to get it when you move to the US.
