imschur Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 ARMALITE® INTRODUCESTWO ADDITIONS TO THE AR-10® FAMILYNEW AR-10A RIFLES ACCEPT 3RD PARTY MAGS!(Geneseo, IL) ArmaLite, Inc. is pleased to announce the AR-10A. This new option of the famous AR-10 will accept traditional ArmaLite “waffle” magazines and some 3rd party magazines.ArmaLite customers asked for a choice, and that’s just what we’ve provided. The AR-10A family of ArmaLite® firearms is functionally identical to our AR-10B family. Operation, controls, and maintenance are the same. However, the AR-10A family is designed to accept early ArmaLite AR-10 “Waffle” magazines and good quality magazines copied from them, instead of ArmaLite’s proprietary aluminum magazines that are used in our AR-10B family. Neither family of firearms will function correctly with the other family’s magazines.We have tested, we recommend, and we ship polymer Magpul PMAG® 20LR magazines with our AR-10As. Other similar derivative magazines such as the KAC, M110, and DPMS / Remington 19 round magazines may fit and may function, but we have not tested them so we can’t assess their reliability. You can purchase extra PMAG®s from our website, www.armalite.com.The first members of the AR-10A family are the AR-10 Super SASS and the AR-10 A4 Carbine. Both will be formally introduced to the public on Tuesday, January 17th at the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. If you will be attending SHOT, please visit us at Booth 11771.ArmaLite has one of the broadest product lines in the firearms industry. We manufacture and sell semiautomatic rifles in a variety of calibers including 5.56mm and 7.62mm, long range super-accurate bolt action rifles in calibers including .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua, 50 BMG, and classic 9mm pistols.

Retired JM Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I wonder if you can use an AR10B upper on an AR10A lower and vice versa. Think I'll give Armalite a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 They will sell more rifles , because of this . Its about time they jumped on the band wagon .I might be interested my self . There are only two reasons I don't own an Armilte rifle , one is mag. compatibility & the other is being able to swap uppers & lowers with the DPMS type rifles I have .Well one is out of the way & its a big one . Just being able to use the same mags as my other rifles , interests me . A future AR 10 build , nice ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayGun19 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does this mean the Armalite will compete for U.S. military 7.62NATO contracts now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariodesmo Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 It's a good thing you can never have too many of thesethings. I just bought a Bushy MOE two days ago...Now I have to figure if these can be made legal for Kahlifornia. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thought I saw some where that DPMS lower works with Armalite? Unless that was for 5.56 not .308. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 You'd have a very, very ugly gap between the two receivers. I've seen pics of the two combined, but I don't know if they actually worked together. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll give Armalite a call.It's in the Tech Notes that Drew posted - can't mix and match the uppers and lowers. You'll need the 10A upper and lower. I've got more than 1/2 the cash for the carbine version right now. Next month, done deal. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well, then - you and I need to leave these carbines pretty much "unmolested." We need to leave them in stock, as-delivered form. We can modify then while we're in the Armalite Armorer's Course together. <thumbsup> Pat is already onboard... <munch> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
