Lentuk Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Is there a list of Armalite AR10 pattern rifle builders? I have only ever had the DPMS LR308 pattern rifles and would like to buy or build an AR10 style rifle, would like to know what manufactures build on the Armilite AR10 style receivers.

dpete Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Its pretty much just Armalite. There may be others I don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 At this point buy is probably a better option then build. I don’t see many Armalites in gun stores anymore, probably need to either special order or direct from Armalite via an FFL holder. They make an excellent rifle.

Lentuk Posted November 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Well so far I see Daniel Defense and KAC use Armalite style recievers, any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMike Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 I believe some (if not all) of Windham Weaponry’s .308s are of the AR10 pattern. You can always ask them. Their Customer Service is golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 You are going to limit yourself on rail choice with the Armalite route. What is your reasoning for wanting the Armalite pattern? 22 hours ago, Lentuk said: Armalite style recievers The caveat, "style" doesn't mean they interchange.

MtnMike Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 pulled out the Windham, and I was mistaken. While the receiver exterior is milled at an angle and somewhat resembles an AR10 pattern. It’s actually rounded-so DPMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentuk Posted November 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Thats interesting, cast a DPMS to have an Armalite look?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMike Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Windham has an interesting history. Without fact checking (which means relying on my memory) my recollection is that they were the original Bushmaster folks. Founders sold the Bushmaster name and company to Remington and had a non-compete agreement for 5 years or so. After Remington more or less ran Bushmaster into the ground, Windham restarted the old company, re-hiring the best employees and starting with a clean slate and a lot of know how. Make a very good gun for the money IMHO. Very helpful folks if you ever have any questions or concerns regarding their products.

Armed Eye Doc Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Diamondback makes an Armalite patterned receiver set. As has been stated, patterned does not mean it is compatible. https://diamondbackfirearms.com/?s=Db10+stripped+receiver+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several are the same way, Matrix used the thread pattern and the angle cut but they still don't pair up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought 1 or 2 years ago. Edited November 15, 2022 by MaineMan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 In the beginning of Live Free Armory, they made straight Armalite pattern uppers and lowers, including the thread pitch for the barrel nut. At some point, the Armalite design stayed, but the thread pitch went to DPMS pattern. Eventually, everything went DPMS pattern, including the shape of the lowers/uppers. I have one of the sets that have the Armalite cuts on the receivers, with DPMS barrel nut pitch. Top quality, all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 As stated earlier, all of the Knights Armament Company (KAC) is 100% Armalite AR-10A patterned- means it takes P-Mags. It makes sense, because Eugene Stoner was brought on at KAC to design everything for them. So, that's the whole SR-25 line, and the M-110 rifles.

I will tell you this for a fact - you CAN 100% run all Armalite AR-10 guts inside DPMS-based receivers. I have a 13.5" Armalite competition barrel, gas tube, the AR-10 BCG, AR-10 Carbine recoil system, running inside Aero M5 receivers. That thing runs like a Swiss watch.
