Charlieboy Posted February 25, 2018 Report 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

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. Edited February 25, 2018 by jtallen83
shepp Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 Didn’t know you guys could have “fun guns” in the UK ???
jtallen83 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Why is the 10T a single shot? Edited February 25, 2018 by jtallen83
Charlieboy Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report 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 Posted February 25, 2018 If you changed the BCG won't it go semi-auto and violate the law there.

So what your saying is you’d like us to tell you how to make your rifle illegal in the UK, IDTS.

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.
unforgiven Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 How long have you had the rifle ?
sketch Posted February 25, 2018 Report Posted February 25, 2018 charlie i would like to see a ground down bolt carrier key. if you could post a pick? just curious what you have?

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
Sisco Posted February 26, 2018 Report 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. Edited February 26, 2018 by Sisco
Charlieboy Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks for that I will do so
