D.R.D. Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Anyone have any more info on the upcoming new offerings by Armalite? I hear they have 25 new platforms coming out for 2015, Keymod, Raptor CH, Cerakote, Ambi, Luth-AR stocks, Adj Gas blocks & Brakes, the works!

jtallen83 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Odds are my B magazines won't fit a one :rant2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.R.D. Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I could have sworn the pics I saw had them using 25 round PMAGS. Does Magpul make Armalite specific mags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibiwan Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I could have sworn the pics I saw had them using 25 round PMAGS. Does Magpul make Armalite specific mags? No, but Armalite makes AR-10A's that are compatible with SR25 style mags (and therefore are PMAG compatible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Those "new models" are just offerings from the factory, with different aftermarket parts. Nothing you can't do at home, literally. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Here it is: http://www.gunsandammo.com/first-look/watch-for-new-armalite/ Just what I suspected, not one damn rifle with a B mag in it :rant2: ..............I do like the shorty's on the wall though. Now I have to ponder....sell the B model or deal with the two varieties of mags??? Odds are there will be two types of 308 mags in my arsenal at some point.

D.R.D. Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 So, in other words, an Armalite AR-10A that accepts DR-25 PMAGS is essentially a DPMS-Pattern rifle? Or, are there other Armalite-specific components to it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) So, in other words, an Armalite AR-10A that accepts DR-25 PMAGS is essentially a DPMS-Pattern rifle? Or, are there other Armalite-specific components to it as well?Not LR308 pattern because the rear of the upper receiver cut is still angled. It also uses the AR-10 pattern lower parts.

392heminut Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Still Armalite pattern, the magwell is changed to accept the DPMS/SR25 type mags but everything else is still the same Armalite stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Although I am an Armalite fan, I am going to wait and see what the Army Marksmanship Unit adopts before I jump on the bandwagon. The extras look good, but unless they improve the accuracy or handling, they are window dressing. At this stage of the game I like what I got, and want to see some proof they are actually better for what you have to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
