BryanWoodstockGA Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 I have a AR-10 T. I would like a second upper with a 16" barrel for other than target work. Is there a list of compatible no Armalite uppers? The only reason I am not getting what would be my first choice ,an Armalite 16" upper is they are close to $800 shipped.
Rsquared Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 Realistically, only Armalite makes compatible uppers for their lowers. Except maybe some older Noveske uppers. They used to make their stuff to the Armalite spec. But that was years ago, and finding a unicorn would probably be easier. Keep in mind that a stripped upper from Armalite (or other parts places) will run around 300 bucks. The BCG will be another 250. So you're already over half way to that 800. Then you add a barrel, gas block, gas tube, charging handle, sights......blah, blah, blah. Really, 800 to get a functioning AR-10 upper isn't really that bad. Building Armalite rifles/carbines isn't the cheapest way to make things happen. Go ahead.....ask me how I know that. I've got (a few) of them. Armalite and cheap don't go hand in hand.
DNP Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 You do have a few. It’s been awhile since you’ve been harassed as the Armalite snob of the group.

And I don't even spit out the corn.
DNP Posted July 12, 2020 Report Posted July 12, 2020 That’s why we love you man. Not because you let us kick you in the nuts repeatedly, but because....no, it’s pretty much because you keep coming back for another kick. Then you smile and hand it back.

Whole bunch of Armalite parts, but for real - not even one whole gun, nor receivers... I know, it's crazy... I have managed to run 100% Armalite AR-10 internals in a DPMS-based set of receivers, though, and THAT THING runs like a Ninja Warrior... Edited July 12, 2020 by 98Z5V
