gagunguy Posted November 18, 2018 Report Posted November 18, 2018 I need advise on a PDS AR10. I dont need opinions on laws, regulations, or interpretation. Only real info on PDS AR10, and yes I'm a 07/02
Robocop1051 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Posted November 18, 2018 I'm guessing, from the use of your acronym "PDS", that you are referring to a Personal Defense System... Specifically a semi-automatic firearm, with the ability to carry in a compact/portable manner. I'm also guessing that your use of "AR10" does not mean Armalite specific AR-10's, and is generalizing ALL .308 AR format rifles.... **We actually view this faux pas akin to calling ALL sports cars "Corvettes" even though only Chevrolet makes the Corvette... Just FYI. Lastly, I'm guessing from your use of 07/02, that you are referring to being a licensed 07-FFL with a Pawn Shop (or similar). What are you trying to get out of your firearm? There is plenty of experience here with 12.5" to 20" .308 rifles. Making a firearm (pistol/firearm/SBR) with a 12.5" barrel has been done very successfully here. What kind of "advise" are you looking for? Parts? Necessity? Reliability? Functionality? Feasibility? TBH... Why? There are a LOT of other calibers that would perform better, in a smaller and lighter package, that would cost less, and would be all-around better options.... Just sayin'

Just sayin' Thanks for the decode Brother, still not sure what exactly the question is????????? I can answer the why for me on a shorty 308, cause I had a schit pile of MK 319 ammo made for shorter barrels and .....well, I could.

Just wondering if he was thinking of something like an 8 incher???
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 No PDS, Post Dealer Sample. Im wanting to do a remake of the 1956 Eugene Stoner design of a select fire weapin for a demo.
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 No not any AR10. Sorry I thought I mentioned Armalite prior to the AR10. I aready have a Armalite 12.5" SBR made from factory parts including the barrel.

gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Robocop, 07 means I'm a manufacturer of firearms, 02 is a SOT means I can buy, sell NFA items including Transferable, Pre May Samples, and Post Dealer Samples.
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Yes, but with modern rifle. Tried it once, but there were issues that I wont go into detail here.
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Thought might be to lengthy for a simple reply
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Basiclly, putting the sear in the normal location as a AR15 the forward part of the bolt wont go past and trip the sear, gets hung up on it. Make it low enough to clear the forward part of the bolt, it wont engage the hammer. I know POF makes one, but tight lipped on info on it and not really willing to sell one to individual with a Law Letter Edited November 19, 2018 by gagunguy
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Thanks stetch. Im really not expecting much help from here in my question as this really isnt what this forum is for, but hoping someone has or seen a transferable Armalite to give me some insight.
sketch Posted November 19, 2018 Report Posted November 19, 2018 Its an rnd question. you might be on your own.. thanks .
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Well I thought of another way to make it work, but have to wait tillafter the holidays to get back to playing on the milling machine
survivalshop Posted November 19, 2018 Report Posted November 19, 2018 The original Drawings for the AR 10 should be available some where , someone has them . Are you making or using an M16 Auto sear , if so , there are probably dimensional differences in the two Auto Sears & the Pin placement in the Receiver because of it , but you probably know that . Of course you know the Hammers are also different.
gagunguy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 Survival, yes I found out the dimensions are different. Found a vintage picture of it disassembled, and yes it has a different hammer then a M16. But I think I have a way around that using a M16 FCG.

Most of us are well aware of that, and what it means... It's ironic that you actually thought you had to spell it out for a guy that owns his own manufacturing company, with foreign contracts, and makes .338 Lapua Magnum ARs... Just some perspective, for you.
